Submitted to OnFocus – MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers will next week on Tues., June 1, 2021, at 11:30 a.m. CT, host the third annual raising of the Rainbow Pride flag event at the east entrance of the Wisconsin State Capitol in celebration of Pride Month.
The governor will be joined by members of his administration and local leaders and advocates. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend. Attendees must follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local public health guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including, as appropriate, mask wearing and social distancing.
In 2019, the Rainbow Pride flag was flown over the Wisconsin State Capitol for the first time in state history. The Rainbow Pride flag will not disrupt other flags that regularly fly over the State Capitol building. The U.S. flag and Wisconsin state flag will continue flying on the east wing flagpole above the Rainbow Pride flag. The POW-MIA flag will continue flying on the north wing flagpole as it does every day.
