For the first time ever, a gay pride flag was flown at half-staff, just below the American flag at Plaza Park recently, as a gesture of support for the victims in the Orlando, Fla., mass shooting.
In addition, before the June 13 city council meeting started, long-serving council member Don Tatzin, filling in for the mayor and vice mayor who were both out of town, asked that everyone at the Community Hall at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center observe a moment of silence for the victims of the attack. - C.
