Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Hosts Pride Flag Raising At State Capitol To Celebrate Pride Month

Published | Video Starts at 05:42

You're damn right I vetoed every one of those bills, just as I always will. And I have been proud to stand at your side every step of the way in this work. I promised long ago that as governor, I would veto any bill that makes Wisconsin less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBT people and kids. That will never change, folks. And I said it before and I'll say it again. Raising the Pride flag above the Wisconsin state capital sends a clear, unequivocal and decisive message that in Wisconsin, all are welcome. (05:42–05:55)
