Ferndale To Install LGBT Pride Flag
The LGBT flag will be permanently installed Monday at Ferndale's city council chambers.
FERNDALE, MI — The LGBT pride flag will be permanently installed in Ferndale city council chambers Monday evening. The rainbow-colored flag will take its place alongside flags representing the United States, the state of Michigan, Oakland County, the city of Ferndale and POW-MIAs, according to a Royal Oak Daily Tribune report.
A number of LGBT local leaders will attend the ceremony that will start at 7 p.m. at 300 E. Nine Mile Road. Ferndale Mayor Dave Counter told the newspaper the LGBT community’s efforts in revitalizing Ferndale is one reason why the flag is being installed.
“I also believe that our inclusion of the LGBT community is symbolic of our broader desire to be a welcoming community for all people, regardless of age, race, orientation or immigration status.”
