Hello Everyone, I am writing because while I enjoyed the vast majority of the Gala (Meeting most of you especially!) I left feeling sexually harassed, and honesty quite frustrated with the response I got when I complained about it to people at the Gala ( Read more... )

costume college, events, wtf

I am so sorry this happened to you and I hope that you get resolution.

Thank you I appreciate that :)

My ideal resolution would be some heightened awareness; so that hopefully it never happens again to anyone, at CoCo or elsewear.

I'm so sorry to hear this! It was definitely not my experience and I would be just as angry (and probably more shocked) as you if it had been.

I'm honestly still a little surprised it happened at all! I guess it's just like so many other things in life, a few bad apples... etc. Regardless next year I am going to go, enjoy myself and immensely; and if I see those people getting handsy again be more proactive and tell them to fuck-off.

BTW Hello new friend :) I ran into you at the Vendor hall yes?

First off, with the guy, he probably would be in the hospital right now if it were me. ;-)

I'm glad you are following through with the complaint and please, never be scared to speak up in the moment if something makes you uncomfortable.

Just now seeing this, and that's pretty gross. Both the guy, and the *woman* who I would *expect* would know better. :\

Glad there's Change Afoot. Let me know if you want to chat about it!

Thank you for the offer :) I had a long chat with my roommate on Monday and now I think I'm at the point were I can just move on. As pissed as I was it's not something I want to dwell on/ give more of my life to at this point.

Yes change is a foot!

Congrats on response to your email. Give us updates whenever you like! Thank you for speaking and acting: so often, that’s all it takes to get the ball rolling.

Yes I will pass along any info as I get it, although I think they are planning to send out some kind of mass email once they have a plan/policy in place.
