Wes Moore marches in Baltimore Pride parade
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller on Saturday marched in the annual Baltimore Pride parade. “Today is a day when we say to our friends in the LGBTQ+ community, you aren’t just welcome, you are necessary,” said Moore, who was the parade’s grand marshal, in a press release his office released. “In Maryland, we embrace one another – in Maryland, we stand with one another – and in Maryland, we leave no one behind.
That is the power of today, and I am grateful for all of you and your work to build a better and stronger state for everyone.” Moore last month signed the Trans Health Equity Act, which requires Maryland’s Medicaid program to cover gender-affirming care.
Moore on March 31 signed a proclamation that proclaimed the day as the International Transgender Day of Visibility in Maryland.
Moore during a Pride month reception at Government House in Annapolis signed an executive order that protects gender-affirming health care in the state.
