Pride: Durham, NC


PRIDE: DURHAM, NC 2023
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023
(abajo para español)
To all impacted by this decision, including but not limited to our sponsors, parade marchers, festival vendors, concert performers, and volunteers, thank you so much for your engagement with Pride: Durham, NC. We value your time and support, and we hope that you will continue to work with us in the future as you are able -- please look out for additional communications coming from our Pride email account at our earliest convenience.
Very best,
Carlos Fernandez & Jesse Huddleston
Co-Chairs, Pride: Durham, NC
Con una cuidadosa consideración por parte de la junta y el liderazgo del personal en el Centro LGBTQ de Durham,
estamos tomando la difícil decisión de cancelar todos los eventos de este año asociados con Pride: Durham, NC.
Si bien hemos invertido nuestras energías y recursos en coordinar nuestro desfile, festival y concierto durante meses, la tormenta tropical anticipada, el huracán Ophelia, y las preocupaciones relacionadas con la seguridad y la salud pública superan la suma de esa inversión. Sin los medios suficientes para garantizar la seguridad y la salud pública de todos los que participarían, estamos optando por el lado de la precaución. No queremos que nuestros programas pongan a nadie en riesgo, y mientras los miembros de la comunidad se reúnen para otros eventos del Orgullo que tendrán lugar en Durham este fin de semana, aconsejamos a todos que tengan mucho cuidado y tomen las decisiones que sean mejores para ellos.
A todos los afectados por esta decisión, incluidos, entre otros, nuestros patrocinadores, manifestantes del desfile, vendedores de festivales, artistas de conciertos y voluntarios, muchas gracias por su compromiso con Pride: Durham, NC. Valoramos su tiempo y apoyo, y esperamos que continúe trabajando con nosotros en el futuro a medida que pueda; esté atento a las comunicaciones adicionales provenientes de nuestra cuenta de correo electrónico Pride lo antes posible.
Esperamos celebrar juntos nuevamente el próximo año, y confiamos en que Durham honrará nuestra elección de mantener a los miembros de nuestra comunidad segura.
Con amor,
Carlos Fernandez & Jesse Huddleston
