Gavin Newsom (GavinNewsom): Why I decided to fly the Pride flag at the California Capitol | Opinion
As governor of a state as large and diverse as California, I make a lot of difficult decisions. But flying the Pride flag over the state Capitol this month was not one of them. A flag that stands for justice, equality and love will always make California proud.
There is not a school or a workplace in the state of California that is not enriched by the contributions of LGBTQ people. We recognize those contributions during Pride month and every month. In California, we will always defend their right to live their lives out loud. It is the courage of these extraordinary Californians that allowed me to take a big step forward in the march toward equality. As mayor of San Francisco in 2004, I directed our city to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in the state of California. I'll never forget Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, the first couple in line. Their courage as out, proud lesbians personifies the very best of our state.
