The words of a known liar? The words of someone I never interact with? Third-hand information you never bothered to verify? Really! To quote a teacher friend of mine, we have no business drawing a conclusion-which is what an opinion is-not based on evidence. I do feel I must address something, the paranoia that abounds in this town. I realize now my attempt at democracy and all-inclusiveness might have been at the cost of a well-oiled wheel, but as of now, there's no use even wondering what went wrong, since no one exists to fix it.
Sure, much of the community hoped we could pull off Pride, but there just isn't enough bodies. This resignation is not so much voluntary as it is the natural culmination of having no support. All 2011 contributions, and vendor fees are being returned, goods reimbursed, and any left over "cash on hand" will be given to SC Pride, Red Ribbon friends, & The Light House.
