The week of June 9 to June 15 has been proclaimed as Humboldt Pride Week.
During Monday’s City Council Meeting, Mayor Rob Muench made the official proclamation.
Muench stated, “Whereas the city of Humboldt is a diverse, accepting and safe community for residents and visitors alike, and whereas pride is a global movement that stands for equality and celebration of diversity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer, questioning, and to spirited and their allies, and whereas pride is a way to honor and respect all people, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation to recognize their differences and uniqueness, and to promote and build community through education and understanding.”
The council unanimously voted to approve the proclamation.
A series of events are being planned for the week by the Humboldt and area Pride Network, including crosswalk painting, a planting workshop, a bowling night, and a drag show.
