Ok, so I have an issue with protests when you are protesting something in the middle of a city, a community where most people agree with you. Protests are most effective when they are about challenging dominant paradigms and not about creating a sweet little supportive community.

Also, since when did protests turn into a feel good, crepe eating sing along? Same deal with the WTO protests in Canada-the whole festival atmosphere belittles the seriousness of your cause.

Gay protests are the absolute best places to meet guys. Mmm so yummy AND informed and active!

Kevin,

I saw three guys riding Harley’s with rainbow feather boas around their necks at a protest here in DC. I almost hit the car in front of me I was staring and laughing so hard. They were giving grief back as well as they were getting.

It is named after my maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, Zelda and Lillian.

TOTALLY unrelated:

Hey Sasha!

I went to my local protest too and while it was definitely more modest than this I did have an awesome “Tiny Dancer” sing along in the van on the way home… oh and a couple of cars drove by screaming faggot at us! Oh Sasha, it’s so fun to live in a conservative area of California!
