SOMERVILLE – Please join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and the Somerville High School Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) on Thursday, May 29, to raise the Pride flag in honor of LGBT Pride Month. The ceremony will take place at 2:45 p.m. on the City Hall concourse, 93 Highland Ave. Mayor Curtatone, City LGBT Liaison Elizabeth Field, and a representative from GSA will speak at the event.

Last year more than 60 people, including students, school staff, elected officials, City staff, and community members attended the flag raising – twice as many as attended in 2012. This event is a way to show support for Somerville’s LGBT community, especially its students. 2014 will mark the 14th annual Pride flag raising event in Somerville.

For more information about the GSA and other LGBT programming, events and information, please contact lgbtissues@somervillema.gov, or 617-625-6600 ext 2400.
