In recognition of Pride Month this June, hundreds of people gathered June 1 at Rehoboth Beach City Hall for the city’s annual raising of the Pride flag.
The city held a brief ceremony before raising the flag. Mayor Stan Mills read a proclamation that recognized Rehoboth’s large LGBTQ+ community and that the city will continue to support that community. Mills was followed by Commissioner Patrick Gossett, who explained what the different colors of the Pride flag mean.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Mills, Gossett, other city leaders and representatives from CAMP Rehoboth, an LGBTQ+ community center on Baltimore Avenue, each helped raise the flag.
After the flag was raised, most of the people in attendance walked up Steve Elkins Way, who co-founded CAMP Rehoboth with husband Murray Archibald in 1991, to Aqua on Baltimore Avenue to continue the celebration.
Last year, in advance of Pride Month, the city painted the crosswalks on both ends of Baltimore Avenue’s second block into rainbows and then held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony the day the flag was raised. There was no special recognition of the sidewalk this year, but the city did repaint the crosswalk rainbows in advance of the June 1 event.
The flag will fly in front of city hall the entire month.
