2024-2231FILE RESOLUTION NO. 2024-2231 A resolution proclaiming June 2024 as Pride Month in the City of Janesville.
WHEREAS, Wisconsin has a committed history of being at the forefront of supporting equality for all its citizens; and WHEREAS, in February 1982, Wisconsin made history when Governor Lee Sherman
Dreyfus signed the nation’s first state law protecting lesbians and gays from discrimination
in employment, housing, and public accommodations; and WHEREAS, in the intervening years, tremendous advancements have been made with respect to equitable treatment of lesbians, gay men, bisexual, transgender, and
questioning/queer (LGBTQ) persons throughout the nation; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin elected the first openly LGBTQ member of the United States Senate, and the Wisconsin state legislature has several openly LGBTQ members; and
WHEREAS, in June 2014, same-sex couples were legally able to marry in Wisconsin,
and the United States Supreme Court affirmed the equal right to marriage for same-sex couples in all 50 states in June 2015; and WHEREAS, despite these advances, LGBTQ people continue to face discrimination, and
youth continue to be at increased risk for bullying, substance abuse, depression,
homelessness, and suicide; and WHEREAS, June has become a symbolic month in which LGBTQ people and their allies have come together in various celebrations of pride; and
WHEREAS, recognizing Pride Month will help foster an atmosphere of inclusion, acceptance, and celebration in the community; and WHEREAS, the month-long celebration is an opportunity for all people to affirm their
commitment to mutual respect and understanding.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE COMMON COUNCIL of the City of Janesville recognizes June 2024 as Pride Month and encourages residents of this City to celebrate diversity, eliminate prejudice, and work towards a more inclusive society.
