Absolutely! And this was organized by people under 25 years old! Only 15 years ago, we never would have even gotten approval to reserve the park for such a thing. My home town has come a long way!
I come through Harrison for work on many occasions and sadly the hatred that is embedded in your town is one of the first things that come to mind when I am driving in. I have to say though, there have been times I needed help while in Harrison and everyone I met or talked to was so very friendly and not bothered to assist. Bravo to the people out participating, even with all the haters on the sidelines . Harrison is a good town with a good heart and it is progressing in the right direction.
That's part of what's so frustrating about the whole ordeal. There is so much good in Harrison, but it always gets overshadowed by idea that the town is full of hatred. It really isn't!
It's a "few bad apples ruin the bunch" kind of thing.
When the media got wind of the billboard story, it just got worse. Of course, the media also always interviews the dumbest, most backwards person they can find to represent Harrison in their story. It's a mess.
nice share @jazzyfish every human has the right to live the way he or she wants...
Thank you!
And I agree. Hopefully, one of these days, things like pride fests won't even be necessary.
Right? I dream of a day when having a pridefest would be no different than celebrating the blue/green/brown color of one's eyes.
There's too much hate in this world. We're all different. Celebrate diversity

Awesome! I'm in Harrison all the time. Didn't realize this was going on! If I can get off work tonight, I'll be joining the festivities!
I'm sure they would appreciate the support!
Here's the lineup:
