THE rainbow flag will fly on the flagpole outside Wattle Range Council’s main Millicent office this month.
The Pride Flag has been adopted by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) community.
The decision to fly the flag during November was made at the Council’s meeting in July with elected members resolving to support the organisers of Adelaide’s annual Feast Arts and Cultural Festival by flying the flag for the duration of the event.
Wattle Range Mayor, Des Noll encouraged others in the region to get involved.
“Additional flags are also being made available to local organisations and community groups who wish to join us and fly the flag for all or part of ‘Pridevember’,” he said.
“It is important that we respect and support all members of our community,” he said.
“This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate inclusivity and diversity, whilst showing our support for the LGBTIQ+ community.”
Any group interested in flying the rainbow flag during ‘Pridevember’ should contact Council’s Community Development Officer, Sarah Marzec.
