We were thrilled to join our LGBTQIA+ community members and elected officials for today’s Pride Flag Raising event at City Hall! We had the privilege of hearing from LGBTQIA+ organizations across Boston, elected officials Liz Breadon and John Moran and JP’s Honk Band added a wonderful touch with their performance.

We joined The Queer Neighborhood Council for a Policy Roundtable covering legislative and budget priorities our office and the City Council are working on. Housing was a cornerstone of discussion but the evening also featured questions around community spaces for Queer youth, advocating for a shelter for unhoused trans youth, and discrimination the LGBTQIA+ community face on public transportation.
