St. Petersburg Flags Pride for Inclusion
Description
St. Petersburg kicked off Pride month with a powerful display—raising the Pride flag over City Hall—symbolizing unwavering support for its LGBTQ+ community. Amid one of the Southeast’s largest Pride parades and weeks of celebration, leaders like Pride Board President Byron Green-Calisch and State Rep. Michele Rayner stressed that joy must not overshadow the ongoing fight for equality. Mayor Ken Welch stood firm against divisive attacks, affirming that inclusion is core to the city’s identity. As June marks the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising—the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ liberation movement—St. Pete’s actions send a clear message: love, respect, and unity are non-negotiable.
