Mayor Kim Roscoe read a proclamation at the May 26 Fife City Council meeting recognizing June 2026 as Pride Month in Fife.
The proclamation noted the national recognition of Pride Month dating to President Bill Clinton’s 1999 action and the role of the 1969 Stonewall riots in catalyzing the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Roscoe said the city values residents, business owners, students and city employees who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and praised their contributions to Fife’s cultural fabric and economic vitality.
