Friendship Heights council votes to display Pride flag at Village Center during Pride Month
Summary
Council unanimously approved a motion to display a Pride flag or banner at the Village Center during Pride Month to affirm inclusivity and the village's anti-discrimination commitments.
The Friendship Heights Village Council voted unanimously to display a Pride flag or banner at the Village Center during Pride Month.
A council member moved to recognize the contributions of LGBTQ residents and visitors by displaying the flag or banner immediately; the motion was seconded and the council approved it without objection. Council members discussed logistics for displaying a banner or a separate flag on a pole and asked staff to identify options for outdoor display.
Council framed the action as consistent with the village's inclusion commitments and anti-discrimination policy. Staff will determine placement and means (banner or flag) and proceed with implementation.
