Ladies and Gentlemen of the LGBT Advisory Committee:
My name is John Patrick Curran. I am one of the plaintiffs in the Eagle Raid case against the city of Atlanta.
After the meeting yesterday evening I sat in my car for forty-five minutes and cried.
Perhaps it was long over due, sheer frustration, or emotional exhaustion.
But mostly, it was defeatism. I had found strength within myself that I never knew I had, but it’s starting to wear thin.
