Most, but not all, KaneGovernment officials proclaim support for LGBTQ+ PrideMonth
LGBTQ+ Kane County residents received support and recognition from their county board for the first time in 186 years Tuesday as representatives approved a proclamation supporting Pride Month. The vote was not unanimous. County board Chair Corinne Pierog said the month had personal meaning for her. She told the story of having a crush on a friend named Charlie while growing up. She could never understand why she had no success courting Charlie's attention beyond friendship.
"Nothing can separate us from the love of God," Stroud said."Sexual identity and gender identity are components of a person's personality and, as such, are part of who God made us each to be. God welcomes all people of all genders and sexual identities. Please don't let any prayer of any faith be used against your identity or who you are or what you stand for. That's not what Christ stood for.
After the vote, Young objected that he was not recognized to make a statement. Pierog said she did not see Young, who attended the meeting via Zoom, asking for time to speak before the vote.
