WESTFIELD — The Parks and Recreation Commission approved two requests by Kathi Bradford, president of Westfield Pride, at its April 8 meeting.
Bradford said at its March meeting, Westfield Pride had received a renewal permit to hang the pride flag on Park Square Green from June 21 to 28, in conjunction with a vigil for the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, which served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States.
Bradford said the mayor has approved raising the pride flag from June 1 to June 9 at City Hall, and she asked to be able to move it to Park Square Green to fly from June 9 through June 28. She said June is international Pride Month.
