The proclamation was signed by Governor Newsom with Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber attesting it. The rainbow flag was raised over the State Capitol in honor of this proclamation.

This proclamation serves as an important reminder of how far we have come in terms of LGBTQ+ rights but also how much work still needs to be done in order to ensure full acceptance and equality for everyone regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
