I recently looked into having a booth at Atlanta Pride, and the cost for non-profits is over $500!!! If you want electricity, it's a couple hundred dollars more. That's a bit cost-prohibitive for our small group.
TJ and I have our heads together over something at the moment, and as he's the leader of Soulforce Atlanta, I'll let him mention it if and when it turns into something. (The idea may go nowhere, I don't know!).
Apathy in the GLBT community is very frustrating. I hardly consider myself an "activist", but I do try to speak up when I can. I don't understand why GLBT people aren't more concerned. I think we're too comfortable in the U.S.A. on the whole. We won't realize our rights are gone until it's far too late.
