'I've made this very hard decision in order to support those members of the LGBTQ community who serve in uniform,' she said.īreed also stressed that she would continue to participate in other activities commemorating Pride Month. However, if the Pride Board does not reverse its decision, I will join our city public safety departments that are not participating in the Pride Parade.' It's one of my favorite events of the year.
