Join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and the Somerville High School Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) on Thursday, May 29, to raise the Pride flag in honor of LGBT Pride Month. The ceremony will take place at 2:45 p.m. on the City Hall concourse, 93 Highland Ave. Mayor Curtatone, City LGBT Liaison Elizabeth Field, and a representative from GSA will speak at the event.

Last year more than 60 people, including students, school staff, elected officials, city staff, and community members attended the flag raising – twice as many as attended in 2012. This event is a way to show support for Somerville’s LGBT community, especially its students. 2014 will mark the 14^th annual Pride flag raising event in Somerville.
