Description
Earlier this week, Polk County commissioners rejected a proclamation celebrating Pride Month, with one member saying, "I just want to get off the ride."
The discussion came Tuesday at a regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting. The proclamation was pulled from the meeting's consent agenda — a part of the meeting where multiple motions are lumped together for group approval — which was then approved after the proclamation's removal.
After this, District 5 Commissioner Neil Combee brought up concerns about approving an LGBTQ+ proclamation for Pride Month now or in the future. While voicing these concerns, he referenced the June cover of Glamour U.K magazine which featured a pregnant trans man, denouncing the idea that trans men are men.
