All right, 4A is a resolution to proclaim June 2026 as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, trans, queer, and questioning intersex, asexual, or agender, and more LGBTQIA plus pride month. Members of the LGBTQIA plus community are our neighbors, friends, family members, coworkers, and civic leaders who enrich Prince William County and help make it a vibrant, welcoming place for all. Pride Month is a time to honor the courage, resilience, and joy of those who have worked tirelessly to build a more inclusive community for current and future generations. It is also a moment to celebrate the diversity that strengthens our county and to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of individuals and organizations advocating for equality.

Chair/District Supervisor (Madam Chair Jefferson) 3:58

This month reminds us that our work is not finished. It is an opportunity for every resident to stand up for one another, reaffirmed our shared values, and ensure that dignity, respect, and belonging are not just ideals, but lived experiences for everyone in Prince William County. Today, therefore, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors proudly proclaims June 2026 as LGBTQTI. LGBTQIA plus Pride Month and encourages all members of our community to celebrate the principles of equality, inclusion, freedom from discrimination, and justice for all who reside and visit Prince William County. Would you like to offer some remarks? Thank you. Madam Chairperson, thank you very much. Board of Supervisors, thank you very much for allowing us to be here and allowing us to create this employee resource group that gives us an opportunity to not only come together, but to show the diversity and strength of Prince William County.

Chair/District Supervisor (Madam Chair Jefferson) 5:00

It makes me proud to be a Prince William County employee to know that I can come in every day and be exactly who I am. And I can do that with the support of not just the executive leadership, but it trickles on down into every area of our work. So I want to thank you very much, and thank you again for allowing us to be here and allowing us to be who we are. Thank you so much.

Chair/District Supervisor (Madam Chair Jefferson) 6:56

All right. Older adults deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and care. They are the pillars of our families and our community, and their safety and well-being must remain a shared priority.
