Auburn council proclaims June 2025 LGBTQ+ Pride Month
Summary
Mayor Sandra Amaro and the Auburn City Council on June 2 issued a proclamation declaring June 2025 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, honoring the Stonewall uprising and urging residents and organizations to support inclusive events.
Mayor Sandra Amaro and the Auburn City Council on June 2 declared June 2025 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month for the city of Auburn, citing the Stonewall uprising and a city commitment to inclusion.
The proclamation, read at the start of the council meeting, states that the designation is meant to honor the 1969 Stonewall uprising and to “foster an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment where all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, are welcomed, valued, and supported.” It calls on residents and organizations to participate in local pride events, educational activities and community gatherings.
Vice Mayor (name not specified) introduced the proclamation and said the month had become personally significant; she also said she was honoring her uncle, who recently died. The council presented the proclamation to community members in the chamber; Sue Thompson (resident) addressed the council, thanking leaders for the proclamation and saying it “sends a powerful message of inclusivity and support” at a time when neighboring Placer County has been slow to adopt such measures.
The proclamation was ceremonial and did not require a council vote. Council members and supporters gathered for a photo after the reading. The council did not take other formal policy action during that segment of the meeting.
