The article states they need $1.2 million to pull it off, so $300K is 1/4 of the budget.
They need 1.2 million to pull it off as planned. Scale back on the rainbow bunting. It’s a huge event and the vendors and businesses in the area rake in cash. It’s got some momentum and this year, based on it’s going to be a big pride season.
I do not need corporate money in order to be gay in public.
Cutting back on bunting because you just lost $300,000 is like, I dunno, saying you want to balance the budget by cutting USAID. LOL.
Oh yeah that was totally hyperbolic, but let’s get down to it.
What kind of party could you throw with $900K?
My entire point is:
We do not need their approval.
Maybe we should have people dying of AIDS on the streets so we can all learn while singing the Bohemian Rhapsody while dancing like Michael Jackson.
The orange fat scarecrow would do that. Over the weekend he personally let Israel bomb Gaza again and Iran the hothies. According to the news which I'm totally misrepresenting and misremembering... A bunch of kids died there. If I had anything to do with something like that, I'd be crying and I would quit. But not orange man. That guy keeps doubling down. How about a bunch of twin babies and their moms? Eh Mr Orange? Is that enough murder?
Never have we seen a community under fire in my generation. Than we are seeing today.
Black people have been under fire for the past 300 years, and are still under fire to this day due to DEI rollbacks, so your comment sounds like you are trolling.
I can understand that. I am wrong for saying that though. You are right. But even more. We need to take back what they are rolling back. All at risk individuals. Including myself with my terrible memory.
You must not get out much.
