During the June 12 town council meeting, Moraga's Mayor Roger Wykle introduced a proclamation acknowledging June as Pride Month.
Recognizing that the town has a diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community, the proclamation is intended to promote a healthy, safe and supportive environment for all.
The proclamation noted that many of Moraga's LGBTQ citizens have made positive impacts to the enrichment of the town either as residents, students, business owners or town employees. By issuing this recognition Wykle said Moraga's civic leaders hoped to promote a climate of tolerance and to follow in the footsteps of many states, cities, businesses, schools and religious institutions in the stand against intolerance.
On hand to accept the proclamation were Campolindo High School students Paige Love and Maddie House, who are president and vice president of Campo's 40-member Sexuality and Gender Alliance chapter. SAGA, a nationwide organization, is a club based on inclusiveness and education about the LGBTQ community. Campo's chapter was formed approximately four years ago to foster tolerance on campus.
Both Love and House expressed their gratitude to Matt Bostick, the Campolindo social studies and advanced placement psychology teacher who serves as SAGA's faculty advisor. "This proclamation will go to him," they said. "He's been very supportive and helpful."
