The opening was a success, our local ward councilman stopped by and offered assistance as needed, this may be one of those times, sooner than we thought, but lets take advantage of it. We even had a Vindicator reporter who was noticeably absent in our Pride Week. We need to provide them with a follow up to this story. The story itself does not help matters much, as it describes the center as opened by "activists." Jeez, we can't catch a break. Please go to the article at http://www.vindy.com/news/2008/dec/07/activists-open-gay-meeting-center/ and comment on the word "activist" and what happened from the 2 people who decided that hate is fun.<BR/><BR/>I honestly don't think this was a planned hate crime, more likely 2 idiots walking buy who wanted to "have some fun." If they had planned to make a statement of hate to us, they wouldn't have waited until 6 hours into the event, they would have done it when we were busiest, or waited until everyone left. This was a hate crime as they only decided to have this "fun" after they saw the pride center event sign, but we should not be worried that there is someone out there to "get us." It was both a happy and sad day at the public innaugural of our pride center, but let's keep the pride alive. This is a big step for LGBT Youngstown, and we can't let this stop us from moving forward. Thanx to Brian and Louis, Nicole, Kay and Laura, and Don and Rick for making a place to call home. We will make it and prosper......Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12420327722986972560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498830368026055730.post-90559729042445064122008-11-20T17:47:00.000-05:002008-11-20T17:47:00.000-05:00Some of us have HAD IT!
