A protest took place outside Webster Town Hall on Thursday night to rally against the town's decision not to fly the Pride flag. The protest was attended by residents from Webster and surrounding areas, including Rochester.
The protesters gathered on Ridge Road to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community and to urge the town to reconsider its decision.
"We want to show that we care about the LGBTQ+ community and that we want to be inclusive" said one of the protesters.
The debate about flying the Pride flag has been ongoing in Webster, with some residents expressing support and others opposing the idea. The Webster Town Board has faced criticism for its decision not to fly the flag.
The protest highlights the ongoing debate about LGBTQ+ rights in the Rochester area. Rochester residents, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community, are watching the situation in Webster closely.
The impact of the town's decision is significant, with many residents feeling that it does not reflect the values of inclusivity and diversity. Webster residents, including those in the Webster Central School District, are affected by the town's decision.
The Webster Town Board will be meeting on July 1 to discuss the issue further. Residents are encouraged to attend to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community.
The protest outside Webster Town Hall is a reminder that the debate about LGBTQ+ rights is ongoing in the Rochester area. As the city continues to grow and diversify, it is essential to prioritize inclusivity and diversity.
