R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The fourth annual Round Rock Pride Festival is
taking place at Centennial Plaza on June 7, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Held each year since 2022, the Round Rock gathering
furthers the long history of Pride events throughout the United
States and beyond; in June 1970, the first Pride marches were held
in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago to mark
the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, which had
galvanized the LGBTQ rights movement; the enthusiastic response far
exceeded expectations, and the parades became annual celebrations;
other cities, states, and countries began to develop their own
Pride events, and in recent years, the tradition has expanded to
suburbs and smaller towns and cities; and
WHEREAS, The Round Rock Pride Festival was launched by
Richard Parson to celebrate the area's diversity in an atmosphere
of safety, acceptance, and love; the festival is staged by the Round
Rock Pride organization, which also sponsors other events
throughout the year; and
WHEREAS, Members of the LGBTQ community contribute
immeasurably to the vibrancy of Central Texas, and the Round Rock
Pride Festival offers a welcome opportunity to gather in
appreciation of the richness we gain through equity, inclusion, and
the freedom of self-expression; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the fourth annual Round Rock Pride
Festival and extend to all those in attendance sincere best wishes
for a memorable and enjoyable observance.
