Hello, Kitsap Pride community. Yesterday evening a board member and administrator of the Kitsap Pride Facebook page was involved in an unfortunate conversation with a member of our community in a direct message. This conversation ended with some strong language and is now being circulated. We want to share our sincerest apology with our community. Kitsap Pride has been creating safe, supportive spaces for our community for more than 25 years. The communication that came across from Kitsap Pride was not supportive and was unprofessional. This message was not representative of our organizational values. Thank you to those who’ve reached out to share your feelings about this incident. We are deeply sorry for the impact that this has had on the individual involved and on our community as a whole. Our Board President has reached out to the individual and will be meeting with them to extend an apology from our entire board in person. The Board member responsible for this interaction recognizes he made a significant mistake and has offered his resignation from the Kitsap Pride Board. While he will be stepping away from his responsibilities as administrator of our social media, at this time, the Board has asked him to continue in his position with Kitsap Pride. In his ten years of serving Kitsap Pride and other LGBTQIA+ organizations, we recognize this incident is uncharacteristic and not representative of his personal values. As Kitsap Pride, we recognize the significant responsibility we have been entrusted with in representing our LGBTQIA+ community. Kitsap Pride is a working Board, currently, nine volunteers, responsible for the fundraising events, planning, developing, and organizing that goes into producing a festival that last year brought together more than 5,000 people to celebrate, support and unite our Kitsap LGBTQIA+ community. Some of you have reached out and asked us to be better. We will take this opportunity to reflect on how we engage and involve our community, and we will do better. With Pride, Your Kitsap Pride Board of Directors ... See MoreSee Less
