    We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn’t worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.

      If you’re in an area where open carry is allowed, it may be worth seeing if there is a JBGC nearby that might be open to helping provide security

        Exactly, we’re steeling ourselves but we’re gonna be there come hell or high water. I’m reminding my guys that the first Pride was a riot and the next 20 were protests.
