Dear Caddo Parish Commissioners,
I am writing in support of the Special Resolution Recognizing June as Pride Month.
Pride Month exists today because, for many years, loud and persistent voices spread harmful and untrue narratives about LGBTQ+ people, often in an effort to shame them into silence and justify discrimination. Sadly, similar rhetoric continues today, as was evident during your work session on Monday.
However, LGBTQ+ people and their allies are no longer willing to remain invisible or silent. LGBTQ+ individuals are part of our families, communities, workplaces, and faith communities. They are building meaningful lives, contributing to society, and doing so while often facing unjust stigma and discrimination.
Pride Month is an opportunity to recognize their dignity, resilience, and contributions. I encourage you to honor that by supporting the Special Resolution.
Kind regards,
Your name
