Governor Shapiro Hosts Pride Reception
|
I was honored to attend Governor Shapiro’s Pride Reception held at the Pennsylvania State Library last week. As we all know, June is Pride Month, and we are so fortunate to have a governor who supports the LQBTQ+ community and the freedom to love who you love and be who you are. I was joined by Hatboro Councilman Alex Myers and we enjoyed music and art that celebrated the LGBTQ+ community!
