RE: HAPPENING NOW: The 2nd Annual LGBTQ PRIDE FEST in the Heart of KKK Country!
I come through Harrison for work on many occasions and sadly the hatred that is embedded in your town is one of the first things that come to mind when I am driving in. I have to say though, there have been times I needed help while in Harrison and everyone I met or talked to was so very friendly and not bothered to assist. Bravo to the people out participating, even with all the haters on the sidelines . Harrison is a good town with a good heart and it is progressing in the right direction.
That's part of what's so frustrating about the whole ordeal. There is so much good in Harrison, but it always gets overshadowed by idea that the town is full of hatred. It really isn't!
It's a "few bad apples ruin the bunch" kind of thing.
When the media got wind of the billboard story, it just got worse. Of course, the media also always interviews the dumbest, most backwards person they can find to represent Harrison in their story. It's a mess.
