He has been ripping off the gay community for years!

So here it is, 2017, and Todd Saporito is STILL the CEO/President of Cleveland Pride Inc. From this we have evidence of what a true liar and narcissist he is based on his statements last year that he "intended to leave Cleveland Pride but had to wrap things up himself to hand over to someone else." Why does the LGBT community of Northeast Ohio tolerate this? Why are corporations, businesses, and individuals STILL doing business with this man??? It truly is a disgrace and Todd represents the worst of the LGBT community. It would be nice to see people boycott Cleveland Pride 2017 until Todd (and Brian too) removes himself from the organization but knowing Cleveland there is only apathy towards the whole situation. As our President would say, SAD! (Biggly!)

How about the money he received from the insurance policy he has on the event in case it cancels? He still needed money to do the event due to a rain-out? Really? He received the same today and I guarantee anybody that money is nowhere to be found! His personal party event planning company benefits from it or maybe his family is helping him hide the money... Daughter, grand daughter? Wife? YES! wife and kids!

Thank you? for what? He is a useless POS who monetarily benefits from canceling this. Saporito is the worse thing that could have happened to Cleveland. A con artist who has benefited from this and many other Cleveland events. Audit his finances, that of his family, wife, children and even the grand kids. Yes, THAT is where he's hiding it all.

Call it INSURANCE PAY OUT! His personal party planning company buys insurance and if the event cancels, he gets paid. Follow the money. This man is for sure a con.

And most likely you'll become rather well off from all the pay offs this clown gets. Reason why hes not letting go? Do you really think he is "doing his job" NOOOOO he is making sure there is nothing that can lead to where the money has gone. I say, INVESTIGATE HIM PERSONALLY, HIS FAMILY, HIS WIFE, KIDS AND GRAND KIDS. That's where the money is. Huge insurance pay outs, checks from "donors" to fund his personal event planning company. Yeah right (now FAT) Saporito (OMG has anybody seen him. the chin fat, the gut. Yuck!!), time to make transparency your middle name.

Seems like Saporito has managed to mangle something else... the bath house hes been running for some time seems to be running out of steam. Might it be that he has overspent there, into the Pride and has gotten caught red handed? also, has anybody question the insurance he gets when "his parade" cancels? He's gotten THOUSANDS of dollars for something he managed to mangle. THE ONE THING he is hired to do. USELESS but richer I bet. He knows how to massage the system. Someone should start an investigation into his finances and that of this kids/grand kids. I bet anything there is LOTS of money in there that came from "questionable" sources, certainly not from his "job"

Todd J Saporito is a viper. He prays on innocents and twists all manner of communication. He sold his soul...if he had one. He attacks without provocation...other then what he makes up in his head. Phoenix had a dead person in their club for four days! Todd takes everything, everyone he touches into the pits of hell. He will steal you blind, and stab you in the back!!!! He hires attorneys, fires attorneys, sues attorneys, and he is excited to sue you too. Specifics are available!

Thank you so much for everyone that signed the petition!! Todd Saporito is "stepping down" at the end of this year but has to "finish" some things first. Probably to cover up the money trail and suck every last penny that he can. One last thing..... Dear LGBT Community: PLEASE DON'T HAVE THIS PERSON INVOLVED IN YOUR ORGANIZATION!!! It looks like CLAW has added him to their board in some capacity. BE WARNED-keep an eye on your financials closely. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2016/08/10/pride-inc-executive-director-todd-saporito-will-be-stepping-down-but-not-because-of-petition-calling-for-his-resignation

Unacceptable. We've had security concerns ever since the 1st pride. He's lying

It doesn't matter if he's "already planning on resigning." He's unfit to lead our community's Pride and he has disappointed our community by failing to plan Pride despite ample time and an abundance of resources.
