Didech Invites Residents to Participate in LGBTQ Advisory Committee During Pride Month

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. – To celebrate LGBTQ Pride month in June, state Rep. Daniel Didech, D-Buffalo Grove, is inviting residents to participate in an LGBTQ Rights Citizens’ Advisory Committee on commonsense gun laws on Saturday, June 22 in Buffalo Grove.

“Our country and our community have come so far in providing equal rights for everyone in the LGBTQ community,” said Didech. “There is still a lot of work to be done, however, and I want to discuss how we can keep moving forward with my friends and neighbors.”

Didech will be joined by special guest Mike Ziri, the Director of Public Policy for Equality Illinois. The advisory committee will meet on Saturday, June 22 at 11 a.m. in the Omni Room of the Vernon Township Community Service Building, located at 2900 N. Main St. in Buffalo Grove. Didech hopes this will be an opportunity to showcase the progress Illinois has made in supporting LGBTQ individuals, and a forum for discussing what the state and country can do in the future.

“I’ve been working this year to fight discrimination in all its forms this year, and that is one of my central missions moving forward,” said Didech. “I encourage anyone who shares that mission to join me in June to talk about how we can continue fighting for equality in our state.”
