• Southgate cancels Pride event at library (thenewsherald.com) — Southgate officials have canceled this Saturday’s planned Pride observance at Veterans Memorial Library, saying they must remain neutral and avoid sponsoring advocacy-related events. The move, announced during Pride Month, has drawn both criticism and support online, including from state House candidate Joanna Whaley. City leaders say they regret the confusion and will review how they vet and communicate about future event funding.
