🏳️🌈 Pride Is for Everyone!
What a beautiful morning in Chester County! Today we raised the Pride flag together — a powerful symbol of love, belonging, and the strength of our community. Elected officials, advocates, and neighbors stood side by side in solidarity to celebrate Pride Month and reaffirm that everyone is welcome here.
“Pride is for everyone.”
— Carrie Stare, President, LGBT Equality Alliance of Chester County
Today we were proud to be joined by County Commissioner Josh Maxwell and County Commissioner Marian Moskowitz, Phoenixville Mayor Peter Urscheler, Downingtown Mayor Erica Deuso, LGBT Equality Alliance of Chester County President Carrie Stare, West Chester Area School District School Board member Laura Detre, and PFLAG West Chester/Chester County leadership — all standing together in celebration and solidarity.
We are so fortunate to live in a community that uplifts, celebrates, and protects every member of the LGBTQ+ family. Today’s flag raising is a reminder that love always wins — and that Chester County stands firmly in solidarity.
Happy Pride, Chester County! 🌈❤️
