I had friends flying in just for the pride weekend. That weak excuse was insulting. I'd bet some money is missing.

I volunteered for pride in 2008/2009. As an Ally of the community coming into the organization I wanted to help as much as I could to make the event awesome and a good time for all. I was quickly surprised to see how disorganized it was, and there was always disputing among chairpersons and leaders. Very sad that so many people go to other cities for Pride because they are so annoyed and displeased with the outcome of Cleveland's every year. And now, this year, we don't have a Pride at all? Just ridiculous. There needs to be a changing of the guard at the organization.

Failure of leadership and disgraceful excuse-making. Saporito is an embarrassment to the LGBTQ community and should not be allowed to purport to respresent us.

Yeah, this doesn't make a whole lot sense. We are not happy with this at all. Not at all.

I find it a tad shady, and curious if funds are being mishandled

Having sat on the Pride Committee in Cleveland during Mr. Saporitos take over, during Ms Fish's tenure. I witness the the community getting restless and wanting change...Him and his volleyball crew came in like a tornado and unseated the whole board... the community went along with the changes, however disagreeable...the organization grew...thats what new blood does. But with cancelling Cleveland Pride...not your call to make. Cleveland is a town that will retire you first. Step aside and let new blood pick up the pieces...your time is up. You should know this...what goes around comes around. Also...Bryna Fish who I thought to be little outdated... would have never let this happen on her watch

You are not equipt to represent the LGBT community and we would be better served by your resignation and replacement.

My little cousin came out to me the day after Orlando, and I was going to fly home to take him to his first Pride. Telling an entire city to go back in the closet is shameful. There's no legitimate reason for this. We need someone who's strong enough to fight with us.

He needs to go- shady. He's too busy at his bath house to care about Pride- cancels it but is still having the after party for it

Pride was supposed to be in June. With two extra months, there is no excuse the event could not have gone on. Canceling events such as these siting security concerns makes thugs and terrorists the victor. You need to reflect on the meaning of pride!
