“Our communities are still under threat here in Washington and Seattle.'
Kevin Ko, KIRO 7 NewsSEATTLE — Seattle city leaders officially proclaimed June 2023 as Pride Month on Thursday, while raising the Pride flag above city hall.
“This isn’t just rainbows and parties and fun. This is love in action. What are we going to do with and for each other to ensure our future and liberation?” Seattle Senior Deputy Mayor Monisha Harrell said on Thursday.“The key is inclusivity. Loving each other. Pride is an opportunity to uplift the immeasurable contributions and achievements of this community,” Mayor Bruce Harrell said on Thursday.
Harrell was joined by a group of speakers, including Lilliam Williamson, who spoke on behalf of the city’s LGBTQ+ Commission. “Our communities are still under threat here in Washington and Seattle. It’s incredibly important that we do not become complacent as a community and as a city,” said Williamson. “This isn’t something that’s just happening in Florida, Texas or Idaho.”KIRO 7 asked the Seattle Police Department about safety concerns surrounding Pride events through June.
In response, SPD stated, “We are unable to disclose allocation of resources or staffing, but preventing and responding to violent crime is a priority for SPD. We take public and community safety seriously and continue to provide police services and presence as part of our daily operations.”
