The Pride flag under the City of Mountain View flag next to the California State flag next to the American Flag, all at half mast. We stand with Orlando.
Context: My city, where I am currently the Vice Mayor, voted last month to fly the Pride flag for the last two weeks of Gay Pride Month. On Tuesday night (June 14th), we decided to raise it earlier in solidarity with the people of Orlando. The entire City Council and many members of the public were on hand to witness the ceremony. We then said the pledge of allegiance and went back into City Hall to convene our normal meeting. The photo above shows the flags beside our Center for Performing Arts building. City Hall is off photo, to the right. I have received more positive emails for this council action than any other since I began my term.
I’m proud of my city.
