In a recent government meeting, the mayor and all six members of the board of county commissioners officially recognized the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community by issuing a proclamation to Come Out With Pride Orlando. The proclamation was received by Tatiana Quiroga, the executive director of the organization, who expressed her gratitude and highlighted the significance of the event amidst ongoing challenges, including a looming storm.

Quiroga emphasized that the proclamation serves as a \"love letter\" not only to the LGBTQ+ community but also to their allies throughout Central Florida. She noted that the pride celebration, which is the largest single-day event in Orlando and Orange County, attracted over 220,000 attendees last year. This recognition underscores the importance of inclusivity and the celebration of authentic identities within the community.

As the organization prepares for its upcoming events, Quiroga acknowledged the uncertainty of the days ahead but remained hopeful about the resilience and unity of the community. The proclamation marks a significant moment in the ongoing efforts to foster acceptance and support for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or identity.
