Proclamation
this nation was founded on the principle that every individual has infinite dignity and worth, and the City of Manhattan Beach calls upon the people of this city to embrace this principle and work to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists; and while society at large increasingly supports LGBTQ+ equality, it is essential to acknowledge that the need for education and awareness remains vital to end discrimination and prejudice; and
celebrating Pride Month influences awareness and provides support and advocacy for Manhattan Beach’s LGBTQ+ community, and is an opportunity to take action and engage in dialogue to strengthen alliances, build acceptance and advance equal rights; and
LGBTQ+ individuals are a vital part of all fields and professions and have had immeasurable impact to the cultural, civic and economic successes of our country; and
everyone should be able to live without fear of prejudice, discrimination, violence and hatred based on ethnic, cultural, racial, religious, gender and sexual identities; and it is imperative that all people in the community, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, feel valued, safe, empowered, and supported by their peers, educators, neighbors and community leaders.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that I, Steve Napolitano, Mayor of the City of Manhattan Beach, California , on behalf of the City Council and the residents of Manhattan Beach, do hereby proclaim the month of June 2022 as
LGBTQ+ Pride Month
and encourage all of our residents to respect, honor and celebrate our diverse community in order to build a culture of inclusiveness and acceptance.
