Today I rise to recognize a celebration of love, acceptance, and diversity and a powerful testament to the resilience and spirit of the LGBTQ+ community, Pride Month in the city of San Diego. San Diego has long been a beacon of progress and inclusivity, and at the heart of our great city lies Hillcrest, the vibrant LGBTQ+ center of San Diego in my congressional district. Hillcrest stands as a symbol of hope and empowerment. Its colorful streets, adorned with rainbow flags, proudly reflect a community that has overcome adversity and fought for the rights and freedoms of all. Let's take this moment to celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to a future where every individual can live authentically and without fear of discrimination. In San Diego, and across the Nation, let us build a society that celebrates diversity, cherishes our differences, ensures equality for all regardless of who they love or how they identify. Happy Pride Month San Diego. ____________________
