The LBGT community was recognized today in Yonkers.
About 50 people gathered at the Yonkers City Hall Plaza for the city's first rainbow flag raising in honor of pride month.

The mayor also made a proclamation recognizing this week as Gay Pride Week in Yonkers.
There is hope among LGBT supporters that the flag raising will become an annual event.
