PRIDE Billboard in Martinsville
Donation protected
Most people have seen this billboard.
I firmly believe in the owner's right to put up that billboard, representing their own beliefs, even though I (and many others) have an opposing fundamental belief.
I also realize that the current billboard engenders varying emotions from the people in this community. This is not to create a spiritual or political debate, or put down anyone else's opinions/beliefs, but instead an opportunity to express and share a different one. A more inclusive and tolerant one.
So, let's put up our own! Bring forth ideas --- from the recent article in the Martinsville Bulletin, the owner paid almost $2000 to have the billboard put up for 2 months. Why don't we do the same? I'm sure with everyone's help we could come up with some amazing ideas. Wouldn't that be something? :)
