Photo Of The Day – Pride Flag Raising

Just after my bit on SiriusXM was finished, I hustled across the street where Providence Mayor Angel Tavares hosted Rhode Island Pride for the ceremonial raising of the rainbow flag over City Hall. Tavares is a member of Freedom To Marry’s coalition of over 70 marriage-supporting city mayors and he spoke passionately about LGBT rights before leading the enthusiastic crowd in a countdown to the flag raising. Providence may be a state capital, but the entire event had a sweet small town feel to it.
