    This is one of my favorite Pride events in the City. I’m looking forward to seeing the colors raised at City Hall on the 25th. Just a reminder to all who attend, you are allowed to photograph and video the flag raising using your phones. Spreading the love from this event via social media and through your networks is needed especially in the current political climate. I am happy to confirm this after being lied to by a Somerville High School teacher 4 years ago who told me I was not allowed to photograph this event because they prohibited cell phone use by students during certain hours of the school day. I took the photo anyway.
