Pride Director Quits

Due to continuing controversy over "crumbling finances," Amy Andre, executive director of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, quit this week. "This year saw controversy as beverage partners, typically community organizations who provide volunteers to work drink booths at the event in exchange for a portion of the revenue, received a letter saying that because of an 'accounting error,' their cut of proceeds was less than anticipated," reports BAR. "Several organizations received thousands of dollars less than they had expected." Also, Board President Mikayla Connell announced her departure from Pride's, effective immediately. Oh, drama. [BAR]
