Melrose comes together to celebrate Pride Month
Christina Rasmussen / Special to the Melrose Free Press
If one thing’s for certain, it’s that Melrose is a city full of pride.
The Melrose Human Rights Commission (HRC), along with the Melrose Chamber Member the Foundation Trust, celebrated Melrose Pride from June 17-20 with both in-person and virtual events that celebrated the work to achieve equal justice and opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community.
LBGTQ+ pride is celebrated annually each June, with pride parades, parties, workshops, and concerts around the world to recognize the impact LGBTQ+ individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
