Pride flag raised over San Joaquin County headquarters for first time under new policy

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY raised the LGBTQ+ pride flag at the downtown Stockton administration building Friday — and this time, it will fly again for years to come.

The flag-raising event at the San Joaquin County Administration Building marked the first time the county has flown the LGBTQ+ banner since a March amendment to the county’s commemorative flag policy. The new policy proclaims the pride flag will honor “Stonewall Day, June 28th in perpetuity.”
