Pride Flag Raised Over Hawaii Capitol For First Time

Island News reports:

For the first time, Pride flags will be flown at the Hawaii State Capitol throughout June, as Governor Josh Green, M.D., has declared it Pride Month.

“In Hawaii, aloha is more than a word, it’s a value that guides how we treat one another, with love, respect and dignity. Flying the Pride flag at our state Capitol is a proud reflection of that aloha, as well as our deep commitment to inclusion. While other places are pushing people to the margins, Hawaii is leading with compassion and courage, recognizing that our Mahu and LGBTQIA+ communities have always been a valued part of our story, and always will be,” said Governor Green.

The flag-raising ceremony was held on Monday, June 2, at the Capitol and was led by the Lei Pua ‘Ala Queer Histories of Hawaii project with the Hawaii State LGBTQ+ Commission.
