Just wanted to make a post for some clarification on a (very understandable) complaint we've gotten from several folks. This is regarding the men walking around "preaching" against Pride, telling folks they will go to hell, and all that garbage.

- Those men are in no way affiliated with our events or any of our event vendors, they came on their own

- There is nothing we can do to have them removed from the depot park area unless they are threatening physical harm - we've had several conversations with the Russellville Police about this and have been told that we cannot have them removed from a public venue - we are continuing to work with RPD and Main Street Russellville to figure out what all our options are for future events and how best to manage disruptors like the ones on Saturday evening

- The inside of the train depot is considered a private venue and, during our events, we can refuse entry to anyone we choose and informed these men that they were not allowed to enter the indoor depot space

We're always looking for ways to ensure our event space stays as safe as possible but have limited options in a public venue like depot park. Additionally, private security is not legal in Arkansas so we're required to use RPD for our event security.

We apologize for any negative experience anyone may have had encountering these folks - in future, if they are harassing you or making you feel unsafe, please don't hesitate to inform an officer on duty or any of the event volunteers.

If you have any specific questions or concerns on this, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Tomorrow night! Bring your friends and family for this fantastic educational opportunity to learn to be a better ally! Totally free, optional silent auction with all proceeds going to Russellville Pride Committee.

Presented by our Know Your Neighbor ministry, this is a fantastic opportunity invite any friends and family whom you feel may benefit from more information and education on what it means to be transgender. The target audience for the event is folks who are open-minded but may be misinformed or confused about what transgender identity means, what gender affirming care is, and other aspects of the trans experience.

Our guest panel will feature trans folks, parents of trans folks, a trans-affirming pastor, and a medical expert. There will be opportunities for the audience to ask anonymous questions and have them answered by our experts.

Please spread the word to anyone you think might find this an illuminating event - it is 100% free to attend!

Please note: There will be a security presence at the event in case anyone has concerns for safety.
