“One of the reasons my family moved here in 1979 was that Lincolnwood was viewed as a place of diversity, openness and welcoming,” Patel said. “Including the pride flags is just another step in showing the diversity and openness and welcoming sensibility we have here.
The board’s consensus at the committee meeting was to direct staff to move ahead with the idea, Patel said. Trustee Atour Toma Sargon suggested flying American flags starting May 1, so the entire month of June can be devoted to pride flags. Sargon also said the flags should be purchased by the village, rather than donated.
