Hillsborough to Purchase, Fly Pride Flags Throughout June
This June, the Town of Hillsborough will pursue a new strategy to publicly display its support for the LGBTQ+ community.
During a virtual work session on Monday, the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to purchase and fly rainbow Pride flags throughout the town during the month of June, the nationally-recognized period of LGBT pride.
LGBT Pride Month was only declared in Hillsborough beginning in 2019. While Mayor Jenn Weaver and Town Commissioner Matt Hughes intended to acquire and fly a set of rainbow flags last year, the plans were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This week, Hughes officially brought the proposition to the board.
