“The goal with the banners is recognition of our community and, also, for our locals who live here and for the tourists who come into our town, to let people know what kind of community we have here,” Saperstein said. “We are a community that believes in equality and inclusiveness and diversity.”
“This year will have a different feel than any other year that I can remember in my lifetime, as Prides have been canceled across the country,” says Gary Saperstein, founder of Out in the Vineyard, an experiential Wine Country event and travel company for the LGBTQ+ community. “It is quite disheartening to know that we will not be able to gather as a community to celebrate who we are today and those who came before us.”
For years Sonoma City Hall has raised the Rainbow flag in support for its LGBTQ residents and visitors during Gay Wine Weekend. Starting in June 2020, Sonoma goes farther by raising the pride flag and lining the square with our Sonoma Valley Pride banners for the entire month of June.
A banner makes it real! Two men decided Sonoma needs to show it’s pride. We start in 2020 with pride banners. Thank you to our sponsors for chipping into the project. Banner created by Matthew Long.
