Lafayette Navy Veteran Joins Fight for Pride Month Proclamation
(WARNING: This story and the second video attached include language that may be offensive to some.)
Members of Lafayette’s LGBTQ community, including a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, continue their calls for Mayor-President Josh Guillory to declare Pride Month in Lafayette.
Members of the Lafayette chapter of PFLAG and their allies spoke during the public comments portion of the Lafayette Parish Council meeting. PFLAG president Matthew Humphrey accused Guillory of playing politics instead of backing his constituents.
“Kids are growing up who are scared to come out and who are dealing with the same stuff that I did, and they’re hearing you not do a thing, Humphrey said. You do realize that your silence speaks volumes. What are you afraid of, Josh? Why are you afraid of me?
