Life has taken over and I was unable to organize a Pride walk this year. Last year after the walk a blue pick up truck drove by children that attended the walk who were headed home and yelled homophonic slurs at them. And this year an man in a black pickup truck yelled the Nword to a child riding their bike on Old Oaken Bucket and spat put their window. The walks are not enough. They are not large enough and the impact is not significant enough to make hatred uncomfortable here. The abhorrent behavior is shocking, unacceptable and embarrassing. Every comment, every action and every joke must not be ignored. If you aren't speaking up you are a part of the problem. Stop the violence against children. Stop the cowardice behavior. Bring these criminals to justice and may it be swift.
