                      HAPPY PRIDE MONTH SAN DIEGO

  (Mr. PETERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PETERS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a celebration of 
love, acceptance, and diversity and a powerful testament to the 
resilience and spirit of the LGBTQ+ community, Pride Month in the city 
of San Diego.
  San Diego has long been a beacon of progress and inclusivity, and at 
the heart of our great city lies Hillcrest, the vibrant LGBTQ+ center 
of San Diego in my congressional district.
  Hillcrest stands as a symbol of hope and empowerment. Its colorful 
streets, adorned with rainbow flags, proudly reflect a community that 
has overcome adversity and fought for the rights and freedoms of all.
  Let's take this moment to celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQ+ 
community and reaffirm our commitment to a future where every 
individual can live authentically and without fear of discrimination.
  In San Diego, and across the Nation, let us build a society that 
celebrates diversity, cherishes our differences, ensures equality for 
all regardless of who they love or how they identify.
  Happy Pride Month San Diego.
