And who do you think gave the mandate to previous committees? A handful of people in some room? The fact is that Pride has been organised by people who got off their high horses and did something – in the face of an uninterested community that prefers to bitch from the sidelines and then pitch on Pride day with the anticipation of a well-prepared event (and then proceeds to carry on bitching till the following year). We get what our community deserves. If they want democracy they actually have to take part. In the meantime I support anyone who takes positive action.

Rolando I agree 10000% with you. There is only one huge BUT that I must make and point out. One person on this new committee is precisely one of those who constantly critised the previous committee for what “unelected” refers to. It is very sad that we have such short memories because the very thing this particular woman (?) accused the previous committee of doing, she is now part of a group who is doing the exact same thing. This Pride story is a mess. Good luck to the new committee as at least they have gotten off their high horses and are doing something but call a spade a spade – It is very hypocritical isn’t it?
