DESCRIPTION:THE SAN FRANCISCO LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER LOOKS LIKE A PLACE WHERE QUEER AND 
 TRANS FOLKS CAN FIND SERVICES, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A NON-PROFIT OFFICE PARK 
 PORTAL TO THE 8TH DIMENSION, DESIGNED TO PUSH US ALL TOWARD A MORE PERFECT 
 OBLIVION.\n\nhttp://www.gayshamesf.org/whosecenter.html\n\nDE-CENTER THE 
 CENTER!!\n\nWHERE: The San Francisco LGBT Center, 1800 Market Street\nWHEN: 
 Thursday June 25, 2009 – 6 PM SHARP!\nWHAT: De-Center The Center, Reverse 
 Polarity\nWHY: REVERSE THE POLARITY, GIRL!\n\nFREE FOOD! \nBUILD DIRECT 
 ACTION ACTIVIST NETWORKS OUTSIDE OF NON-PROFITS!\nAND MUCH MUCH 
 MORE!\n\nWHOSE CENTER??\n\nDoes today’s mainstream LGBT movement make you 
 feel like you’re lost in an alternate reality? Perhaps even another 
 dimension? Do the things groups like the HRC fight for cause you to feel as 
 if you’re going the wrong way backwards through time? Does the thought of 
 straight ally Gavin Newsom’s ascendancy to governor give you vertigo? GAY 
 SHAME has uncovered shocking new truths! \n\nUpon studying the blueprints 
 to the San Francisco LGBT Community Center, GAY SHAME has gathered evidence 
 that it is in fact a portal to the 8th dimension. Cleverly disguised as a 
 community center, familiar evil mega-corporate donors (ranging from Lennar 
 to PG&E to Bechtel) and the San Francisco power elite, have been using 
 their office park portal to suck away all our time, energy and passion. Who 
 does the Center serve? What is the real agenda of the non-profits housed 
 there? Why does the Center claim to have budget troubles, yet is able to 
 re-paint the exterior (ugly) while leaving its youth art programs without 
 art supplies? What could be the purpose of so diabolical a device? Gavin 
 Newsom seeks to move us all Towards a More Perfect Oblivion.\n\nWhat could 
 possibly undo such vile machinations? After further careful research, GAY 
 SHAME has discovered that this vortex gate SWINGS BOTH WAYS. Join us June 
 25, 2009 as we converge upon the San Francisco LGBT Community Center to 
 attempt to REVERSE THE POLARITY of this terrifying non-profit office park 
 vortex. \n\nHow will we be able to do this? By turning their tricks against 
 them. In Gavin’s infinite hubris, he and the marriage movement attempted 
 to siphon off some of the portal’s stolen energy to dress up their 
 callous ruling class publicity machines as activist struggles. Unwittingly, 
 these foolish attempts have fractured the time-space continuum. 30 years 
 after the White Night Riots and 40 years after Stonewall, radicals from 
 splintering time periods and multiple movements without number shall join 
 forces. This is an epic battle \nbetween their non-profit office furniture 
 and all your favorite movement heroes from various time periods. PICK YOUR 
 TEAMS!\n\nThis will be a high-concept anachronistic interpretive dance-off 
 to determine the fate of radical queer politics!\n\nDE-CENTER THE 
 CENTER!!\n\nWHERE: The San Francisco LGBT Center, 1800 Market Street\nWHEN: 
 Thursday June 25, 2009 – 6 PM SHARP!\nWHAT: De-Center The Center, Reverse 
 Polarity\nWHY: REVERSE THE POLARITY, GIRL!\n\nFREE FOOD! \nBUILD DIRECT 
 ACTION ACTIVIST NETWORKS OUTSIDE OF NON-PROFITS!\nAND MUCH MUCH 
 MORE!\n\nGAY SHAME is a Virus in the System. We are committed to a queer 
 extravaganza that brings direct action to astounding levels of 
 theatricality. We will not be satisfied with a commercialized gay identity 
 that denies the intrinsic links between queer struggle and challenging 
 power. We seek nothing less than a new queer activism that foregrounds 
 race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving “values” 
 of gay consumerism and the increasingly hypocritical left. We are dedicated 
 to fighting the rabid assimilationist monster with a devastating 
 mobilization of queer brilliance.\n\n\nGAY SHAME is a celebration of 
 resistance: All Are 
 Welcome.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.gayshamesf.org/whosecenter.html\n
