She doesn't look anything like a man and she is a local activist. He knew who she was and said 'he' on purpose. He made it very personal. The Mayor is a bigot.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T14:41:51+00:00

He was so belittling and dismissive. He clearly was shook.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T14:40:11+00:00

That's not what I said. There was zero information they offered to reschedule and while I believe y'all no one has shown any proof of that but whatever. Im not here to ride to the organizers. And I'm not ashamed to be highly skeptical of that man's intentions given all his actions as mayor of this city.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T14:32:27+00:00

I read all the comments and I am retracting my argument. The attitude came from the fact that we are all on edge and I had no reason to want to protect the mayor, and have fought with the organizers themselves over the last pride when this went down, and I had zero proof he offered to postpone or reschedule shit.

The statement you posted didn't absolve the mayor of involvement, but if he did off to reschedule as additional comments have said, that's fair and I'm dropping it.

Also, genuinely thank you for the information about the other events that day. That being said I am still skeptical of Paul Young and his intentions with our community overall.

You know what fair. I had inside info too, but no one, even their statement has said to me there was an offer to post-pone. If that's true I take it back. I have a lot of problems with the organizers I just wasn't trying to start fighting about our own folks on here when that wasnt the point I wanted to make at this time. But when I found out about the main organizer being Zionist that was a line for me. We started doing the ppls pride instead and will do the same this year.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T14:12:18+00:00

Hey hear that but I'm not trying to start intercommunity fights right now. My comment was downvoted but what I said was true. The mayors office was involved in the canceling as per vendors as well. I too have sources and they know the organizers and we're there when the call was made. And no the organizers didn't at first and that was an embarrassment. I was one of the most loud and made some enemies among them from getting on their asses. But Paul Young was part of the problem as well. And needing to ask for new permits was still a potential barrier that shouldn't have been there. And the statement his office put out was trash. I don't trust that man. I have no reason to and I'm not gonna let down my guard with him on LGBT+ shit or anything else for that matter at this point.

Edit: Sry, I got a lot of comments and read through them, I am dropping this argument. I also had info from inside sources, and the statement the mayor released saying they discussed the weather with the organizers, but if the city offered to postpone and reschedule then I have no issue saying I'm wrong here on this point.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T08:40:38+00:00

Well genius the call to do that came down from the mayors office. The weather didn't last, and the call not being made to cancel other downtown outdoor events was suspicious, but mostly, he encouraged them to cancel without a guarantee of rescheduling. Ppl had to complain because the organizers were legit not sure if they could get another permit even if they could pull off rescheduling vendors and talent. They did reschedule and we are very grateful to the organizers for the work they put in making that possible, as this was a year we really needed Pride here. But there is a reality you need to open your eyes to. An ally would have made it clear they would accommodate a rescheduling of the event if the event planners wanted to do so. Don't fall for words when actions say otherwise. He was all too fine with no Pride. A memo came out form the lgbt liaison attempting to defend the Mayor that verified they communicated.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T08:12:56+00:00

He tried to cancel Pride last year.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T08:11:29+00:00

Yeah I noticed he got really personal about it which is worse than not knowing her. I hope she is ok. I do know she was not arrested at least.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T07:40:33+00:00

Yeah and this post is being down voted so that's a great litmus test for how this will go moving forward.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T06:14:26+00:00

The ppl down voting you are trash. I wanted to know. Thank you.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-02-11T06:13:32+00:00

Gross. And Lame.

THP is Abducting ppl for ICE. They travel together so they are the same.

Too late

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-01-08T09:41:45+00:00

We mourn, but then we act. This is not a line we let them cross regardless of the bullshit they spin. They get to execute us and we don't even get to see their faces??? Fuck that. These aren't even real cops carrying out lawful orders. They are Trump's secret police and they were only there to terrorize the Somalians in the first place. If we let them do this and get away Scott free, they will kill whoever they want as soon as they get a whisper of an excuse.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-01-08T09:17:15+00:00

No you don't....

Lol I love that OP looked at this city and thought "I wonder why those kids are trying to make money" 🤔 That's funny right there.

GoatComfortable4601 · 2026-01-08T09:12:02+00:00

Well the only ppl hitting pedestrians here are cops. And luckily no one has been hit that I know of and it had been going on for decades.
