We can be an inclusive community that makes more people feel seen instead of being driven by fear.

At a time when LGBTQ+ folk are being scapegoated and targeted across the country, Holliston can send a message of welcome and embrace by flying the Pride flag. I have invited all the Holliston folk who are members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Sherborn where I am the Senior Minister to lend their voices and support of this petition.

Holliston welcomes, supports and benefits from diversity. We should be able to proudly show that support on our public buildings.

You can’t disapprove of lgbtq persons, because they are who they are, they cannot choose to be other, any more than a black, white, or asian can choose to be other.

The decision by the select board tgat the town hall and public library cannot display the pride flag signifies that Holliston is not a safe place to live for LGBTQ residents.

It is more important than ever that we as a town demonstrate to our children that we support and accept everyone.

I am the Assistant Director of the public library and I love that the library is pictured in the graphic for this petition. I am also Holliston's YA librarian and strive every day to make sure the tween/teen collection and space is welcoming and representative of all people and especially the LGBTQIA+ community. I feel this revision to the flag policy for the town is a vital step toward showing support for all its citizens. Thank you.

At this time when LGBTQ+ diversity is being challenged across our country it is even more important that our town stand up in support of diversity and inclusion.

This policy is counter to the Town’s commitment to Diversity, Equality and Inclusion and should be amended.
