Dear Editor,
Your front page article this week suggested that the ALSO Foundation would be insulted by the City of Yarra funding the Pride March Victoria Peel Street Fair because ALSO is the current auspice of Melbourne Leather Pride. This is not the case. We wish for both groups to flourish. We congratulate the City of Yarra for its recent investment in GLBTI issues and hope that it continues. At no stage did Southern Star contact ALSO for comment, and the suggestion there is discord between the ALSO Foundation and other community groups is completely untrue. Both Leather Pride and Pride March Victoria deserve funding to deliver upon their diverse community mission statements, as do other entities. ALSO remains committed to Pride March Victoria remaining a central part of our rich calendar of cultural events and welcome the advent of the Peel Street Fair.
Crusader Hillis, CEO {also}
