City of Ferndale, Michigan for Pride Community

The crosswalk is painted in rainbow colors

Happy PRIDE Month!

My post is in correlation to “Let’s celebrate Pride Month with Community” by @Rahul001 PRIDE with Local Guides ✨ - Celebrating Pride Month with Community! 🎉.

The State of Michigan is considered the highest rank for LGBT, also the most welcoming state, based on the AI Overview.

One of the very welcoming cities is Ferndale, where I spotted this rainbow crosswalk, biker stand, and flag on a building in the middle of the city of Ferndale on my way to drop flowers to one of our customers.

Bycicle rack was painted in rainbow colors

“Ferndale: This Detroit suburb is known as “Fabulous Ferndale” for its inclusive environment and strong LGBTQ+ community presence. It hosts Affirmations community center and boasts a high percentage of same-sex couple households”. (quoted from AI Overview)

Please also check the post by @TusharSuradkar Glimpses of the Detroit Pride Parade 2025, we spent a couple of hours watching the Motor City PRIDE Parade 2025 after our meetup under the Kern’s Clock, please check the recap by @TusharSuradkar
Recap: [Hybrid] United States, June 08, I'll meet you under the Kern's Clock in Detroit

The photo was taken after some of the parade had passed by.

This rainbow cake was sold at Panera Bread across the Kern Clock (unfortunately, this place is not on Google Maps, I know what I will do next )

These rainbow bagels were sold at Meijer https://www.meijer.com/shopping/store-locator/268.html?cmpid=LM:Web::::05112021::GoogleGrocery

LOVE is for everyone, happy PRIDE month, Local Guides! Be yourself and be happy!!!

With love from the “D”

Awesome images you clicked of Pride celebrations at Ferndale @Erna_LaBeau .

I love how crosswalk has pride colours and bicycle racks have pride coloured bars. Is that wheelchair fitted to bicycle or is it for babies/children?

Cakes & bagels should be delicious, isn’t it?

Thank you for showing pride colour at the city and spreading Inclusiveness in our community.

I love the line “Love is a Human Right..!”

[Erna_LaBeau]

Yes it is @NareshDarji. The welcome and inviting feeling is very important. Ferndale is very famous for this.

What a vibrant and heartwarming tribute to Pride Month! The rainbow crosswalk, bicycle rack, and flag truly symbolize the welcoming spirit of Ferndale. It’s wonderful to see how the community celebrates inclusivity in such visible and joyful ways. @Erna_LaBeau

That rainbow cake and bagels look delicious too — I love how even the food joins the celebration! What other local spots do you think should be highlighted for their support of Pride?

[Erna_LaBeau]

Its hard to say but I would love to see all aspects will do the same, would not you agree? @NandKK

[NandKK]

Yeah, indeed. Why would I not agree.

Thanks again @Erna_LaBeau
