MADISON — In celebration of Pride Month, today Governor Tony Evers is hosting the third annual raising of the Rainbow Pride flag event at the east entrance of the Wisconsin State Capitol.

The governor will be joined by members of his administration, local leaders and advocates, and will sign an executive order to raise the Rainbow Pride flag.

In 2019, the Rainbow Pride flag was flown over the Wisconsin State Capitol for the first time in state history. The Rainbow Pride flag will not disrupt other flags that regularly fly over the State Capitol building.

The U.S. flag and Wisconsin state flag will continue flying on the east wing flagpole above the Rainbow Pride flag. The POW-MIA flag will continue flying on the north wing flagpole as it does every day.
