When asked in a one-on-one interview on Wednesday what pride month means to her, Healey said it is about joy and celebration, but is also a chance for her to reflect.
During Pride Month, NBC10 Boston is committed to bringing stories from within the LGBTQ+ community, which includes Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey. She made history back in November, when she was. She was also the first openly lesbian governor to be elected in the country.
"This year it was about a lot of gratitude for me. I wouldn’t be here as the country’s first lesbian governor if it weren’t for all of the people who went before me," Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said in a sit-down interview with NBC10 Boston's Abbey Niezgoda. With more than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills being proposed in state legislatures across the country, Healey said Pride month is not just a celebration, it's about protection.
