Proclamation celebrates Hull Pride Day’s 10 years of ‘strength and diversity’

By Carol Britton Meyer

 

June 3 is Hull Pride Day, a time to celebrate the town’s continuing tradition of being “a welcoming community to all,” according to a proclamation adopted by the select board.

The document declares that this Saturday is Hull Pride Day and commends the Hull Pride organization as an LGBTQIA+ community group “promoting Hull’s strength and diversity, which is crucial to securing human rights for all Americans.”

As a No Place for Hate community, Hull “values human rights above all, respects the dignity and worth of each individual, and is committed to equal rights for all, opposing discrimination in any form,” the proclamation states.

Hull Pride awards “Acceptance and Inclusion” scholarships to graduating Hull High School seniors who embody Hull Pride’s mission of strengthening local community connections and promoting diversity, acceptance, and inclusion.

The 10th Annual Hull Pride Party is planned for June 3 from 3 to 9 p.m. at Hull Yacht Club, featuring celebratory remarks from local community leaders; a free live performance at 4 p.m. from Boston’s greatest disco funk cover band, Booty Vortex; Boston drag queen Missy Steak, who will host the event; dance tunes spun by Hull Pride Co-President and legendary DJ Scott Helms; food and drink; tarot card readings; a silent auction to benefit the scholarship fund and announcement of the 2023 recipient, and more.
