Madison’s first openly gay mayor is kicking off pride month with a celebration on Monday.
Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway will raise a rainbow flag outside of the 215 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard building on Monday at noon. Throughout the month, Madison’s municipal building will be lit with rainbow colors at night time. Rhodes-Conway said, “The city of Madison has a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion across the board, and one of my top priorities is to make sure everyone’s voices are heard in our decision-making process.”
