“As a marginalized community, we have always had to fight for our survival, be it with mental health, trans health, access to quality care and more,” Fergerson said. “There are videos circulating the internet and make note that those are not affiliated with our brand.”Ītlanta Pride Executive Director Jamie Fergerson issued a statement calling for people to have “Pride at home” and urging people to wear masks and protect one another. “We just want to make clear that ALL our events during Atlanta Pride are virtual,” the group said in a tweet. 09dcogipZmĪtlanta Pride responded to the footage by noting that it had arranged virtual events for the city’s Pride weekend, and had no part in any of the parties that took place. This doesn’t represent Queer Atlanta or Atlanta Pride… this is some selfish bullshit and greedy promoters who want to cash in on the weekend and a slap in the face to our spaces that are actually doing the work or have been forced to shut down.
