Again, County Council approves Pride proclamation with no GOP support

EVERETT — Once again, the Snohomish County Council voted to recognize June as Pride Month, with dissent from its Republican members.

On Wednesday, the council affirmed “LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.” The council’s three Democrats — Strom Peterson, Jared Mead and Megan Dunn — all supported the proclamation. Council members Nate Nehring and Sam Low opposed.

Nehring and Low did not respond to a request for comment. Neither member commented on the proclamation during the meeting.

After a similar vote in 2022, Nehring told the Herald he “would be violating [his] own personal conscience by supporting a resolution promoting or celebrating particular lifestyles.”

It doesn't promote anything. It recognizes they exist.
