The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved a proclamation in May declaring June Pride Month. Selectmen Chairman Jackie Belf-Becker read the proclamation that stated the town is a welcoming community that celebrates and promotes diversity and inclusion and is committed to equal rights and opportunities for all. And since the town recognizes that the nation was founded upon the principles that all people are created equal and that each person has the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and equal opportunity and the town is dedicated to accepting all residents then it’s only right they celebrate the accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community.
