The Gay Pride Resolution Passed by the McHenry County Board on a Voice Vote

Posted on by June 3, 2023

Proposed by Board member Lou Ness, here is the resolution as it passed. (I am told that the version I posted was replaced with this one,)

“This proclamation was adapted from an earlier national proclamation<” she wrote. Of all the language I explored, These words, rearranged fit best the spirit of Pride Month in McHenry County.”

Whereas individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (referred to in this proclamation as (“LGBTQ+”) include individuals from, every municipality in McHenry County and unincorporated McHenry County, and

Whereas the systemic inequality that LGBTQ+ individuals face in securing healthcare, employment, and housing systems in McHenry County, leading to a disparate impact on LGBTQ+ individuals; and Whereas LGBTQ individuals in the United States and McHenry County serve, and have served, the United States Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, and Marines honorably and with distinction and bravery; and

Whereas LGBTQ+ individuals in the United States serve, and have served, in positions in the Federal Government and State and local governments, including as members of Congress, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, mayors, and city council members in McHenry County; and Whereas, throughout much of the history, same-sex relationships were criminalized in many States, and many LGBTQ+ individuals were forced to hide their LGBTQ+ identities while living in secrecy and fear; and

Whereas LGBTQ+ youth in McHenry County are at increased risk of suicide; homelessness; becoming victims of bullying, violence, or human trafficking; and developing mental health illnesses, including anxiety and depression; and

Whereas LGBTQ individuals in McHenry County have achieved significant milestones, ensuring that future generations of LGBTQ+ individuals in McHenry County will enjoy a more equal and just society; and

Whereas, despite being marginalized throughout the history of the United States, LGBTQ+ individuals in the United States and McHenry County continue to celebrate their identities; Assuring that Pride Events are a celebration of visibility in spite of marginalization, the LGBTQ+ community will continue to observe this significant cultural practice; and

Whereas LGBTQ+ individuals in McHenry County remain determined to pursue full equality, respect, and inclusion for all individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity:

Now let it be proclaimed that the McHenry County Board supports the rights, freedoms, and equal treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (referred to in this resolution as “LGBTQ+”) individuals in McHenry County while acknowledging that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights to be protected by the laws of the United States and policies and practices in McHenry County .

The McHenry County Board therefore proclaims June 2023 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in order to provide a lasting opportunity for all individuals in McHenry County to explore the impact of discrimination and inequality that members of the LGBTQ+ community continue to endure.

  1. Cowardly voice vote!

    I blame bumblefuk Buehler.

    Our GOP surrender monkey.

    I am sick of fake pride. Sick to my stomach.

    Pam Althof voted for it too.

  4. Interesting.

    Can’t the Boob Buehler, as the presiding Chairman, call for a voice vote.

    Or was he gelded?

    Yes, and all promoted by a Jew controlled media, Hollywood, government and academia. The Neo-Marxism leading to communism and complete control by the state we are now experiencing would not exist without the power and influence of Jews who literally dominate every institution including the federal government. In order to make sure they are not thwarted, they are now in process of creating an anti-White military to go along with their anti-White federal law enforcement. Not sure how this is ever fixed at this point. These monsters are willing to slaughter tens of millions of us if necessary should we try to fight back.

  6. The ‘UpRising Bakery’ could save itself selling its wares and asking for donations.

  7. PLEASE UNDERSTAND — County Board Chairman, Mike Buehler DOES NOT HAVE A VOTE.

    He is only a tie breaker and that has NOT happened in his time as chair.

    HE IS BOUND BY LAW TO SIGN ANYTHING THAT PASSES WHETHER HE AGREES WITH IT OR NOT.

    Tired of seeing him blamed for a votes he never had.

    People need to educate themselves on how the government runs.

    Not going to learn it in Illinois public schools

  8. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, COUNTY BORD CHAIRMAN, MIKE BUEHLER DOES NOT HAVE A VOTED.

    He is only a tie breaker.

    That has not yet happened in his time on the board.

    It very rarely does.

    HE MUST BY LAW SIGN ANYTHING THE BOARD PASSES, WHETHER HE AGREES WITH IT OR NOT.

    Tired of people bashing him on votes he NEVER MADE.

  10. Does it matter who voted for or against.

    It’s not like the GOP will get back the total control they once wielded in McHenry county.

    But you keep grasping at straws.

  11. You still won’t be able to declare social justice victory, until you recognize my right, to crash my truck into liquor store fronts at 3:00 A.M., when they are unjustly closed.

  12. This is a BS issue, there are way MO impotant things to discuss then this rubbish!!! get a clue MCCB and start doing a job for our Cty! We the people!

  14. Wow, A MAGA moron that actually makes sense. To bad it’s too late.

  15. If you would just have alphabet people postpone their parade for July 1 and bond with conservative NASCAR fans by marching along Columbus Drive as the race is in progress.

    Only then can we finally come together as a just society.

  16. For this reason God delivered them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. The men in the same way also left natural relations with women and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.

    Romans 1:26-27

  17. Again Bible Boy not attributed to Jesus. Again written by Paul, a Jew no less.

  18. All that has to be done to require a roll call vote is for one member to request it.

    None did.

  19. Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    If your going to believe in JC and the Bible, try reading all of it.

  22. What BecauseScience said.

    Many on the board didn’t like me asking for roll call votes.

    If there was someone on the board who really wanted to know they could have requested a roll call… all virtue signaling.

    Par for the course.

  23. This is exactly why when a Bible fight breaks out in the saloon, I steal a bottle of whiskey from the distracted bartender and sneak out the back with a couple dancing girls.

  24. Gasssr, when you left, the Noard’s average IQ declined 17 pts.

    And it wasn’t really that high to begin with.

  26. I hate to be the one to point this out but, this is an annual event isn’t it?

    If this really has you clutching your pearls mark your calendar and go make a stink about it, you’ve got a year to prepare.

  27. Why would they do that? It’s easier just to bitch here.
