Delaware County Holds Pride Flag Raising in Recognition of Pride Month on June 6

In recognition and celebration of Pride Month, Delaware County will raise the Progress Pride flag on June 6 at 1:00 p.m. in front of the Delaware County Courthouse, located at 201 W. Front St., Media, PA.

The flag will be raised in honor of Pride Month, a month dedicated to recognizing the need to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for LGBTQIA+ Americans. Pride Month, celebrated in June, commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a pivotal event in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Raising the Pride flag honors this history and the progress made since then.

The Progress Pride flag is a symbol that our county respects, recognizes, and celebrates the lives of Delaware County residents and employees in the LGBTQIA+ community and is a reflection of the progress we have made as a nation to cultivate a more accepting and loving society.

The community is invited to join Delaware County Council and various members of the County Team in raising the flag to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and diversity, equity, and inclusion in Delaware County. The Progress Pride Flag will fly outside of the Delaware County Courthouse and the Government Center through the month of June.
