MAYWOOD, N.J. — U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, joined Maywood community members, local officials, and advocates at Borough Hall to celebrate Pride Month with the raising of the Pride flag.

The ceremony brought together residents and community leaders to recognize the contributions of LGBT individuals and celebrate the diversity that strengthens Maywood, New Jersey, and the country.

“I’m proud to help raise this flag today because it sends a clear message: Love is love, and hate and intolerance have no place here,” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “Not in Maywood, not in New Jersey, not in America.”

Each June, Pride Month honors the history, achievements, and ongoing contributions of the LGBT community. The Pride flag will fly at Borough Hall throughout the month as a symbol of Maywood’s commitment to inclusion, equality, and respect, and as a reminder that every individual deserves to feel valued and empowered to be their authentic self.
