Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs

LGBTQ Commissioner Highlight!


Richard “Ricky” Buttacavoli (he/they) is the founder of both Ricky’s Pride and the Montgomery County LGBTQ Business Council. His work spans the Commonwealth and we’re happy he continues his advocacy as a member of the Aging and Communications subcommittees on the Commission.

“I’ve been dedicated to advancing LGBTQ+ rights for decades. My advocacy began in the ’90s when I managed the West Side Club, a gay nightclub that became a vital safe space for our community. Since then, I’ve influenced the passage of non-discrimination ordinances and was instrumental in convincing the Montgomery County Commissioners to create the Commission of LGBT Affairs. From raising the Pride flag at the Montgomery County Courthouse to advocating for comprehensive health services, my work is vast—this is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much more I’ve been involved with, all focused on breaking down barriers and ensuring that every LGBTQ+ person can thrive with dignity and equality. Together, we’re not just making history—we’re shaping a future where equality is the norm.”

Christian Fusco- North Penn School Board

“Richard was an incredible asset during my campaign for the North Penn School Board. As a newcomer to local politics, his experience with organizing, diligence and positive energy was indispensable. Richard is also a skilled event coordinator. The National Honesty Day Event he organized was a huge success that allowed me to network with important local leaders in the early days of my campaign.”
