There seems to have been some major misunderstandings about a post we created earlier today. To avoid that continuing to happen, we aren’t going to rehash it, but it stemmed from an experiment on gofundme.com.

It was never our intention to make anyone feel marginalized in any way. The point of the post was that outlandish requests can get support and donations on crowd sourcing sites such as Go Fund Me, and created a post with an advanced medical treatment for a pet as our example of this. We never equated a procedure with a pet to what a human being would go through, so the thought some would take this as an attack on any group of people wasn’t even something we considered.

We have heard you and understand your concerns. To avoid any further misunderstandings, or the chance of hurting feelings of those we care about, we have deleted the page and ended the experiment.

We have always and continue to believe Mix is a place where everyone is welcome and accepted. We appreciate you sharing your feelings. If we miss the mark, we appreciate not only hearing about it, but also that you will give us chance to fix it. That’s what we have attempted to do here.  To anyone who was hurt by it, we apologize.
