Stop Newsom attack on the poor, elderly, vets, impoverished families, and disenfranchised.

an injury to one is an injury to all...i guess now that PRIDE has their own locked down neighborhood, and assured political power, they no longer belong to the under-dog, disenfranchised class. Right up there pushing for their place at the trough, sans willie, hoping to get next to fancy-pants Getty oil heir and Toothsome Newsom, the pomade wolf.

SHAME Toklas Club--call yourselves Log Cabin! SELL-OUT
SHAME LezGayBiTransClub for lack of social consciousness and disregard for history. SOLD-OUT!

This report makes me sick and weary for I was one of many who supported the gay community back in the day...the 70s that is. Now that the Castro is safe for the Gay Elite, I bet a Log Cabin Group should sprout soon. Sick-o-phants!

ummm, I know this is the web...but there are reliable sources...and since you think Gavin Newsom wasn;t there, you couldn't have been there either, or at least you're not a reliable source or witness...nor an honest person. well...

Read the paper, step outside...or just read the threads...

oh, boo-hoo-hoo...your candidate is involved in cops stomping on queers, cuz if he weren't he coulda stop the arrests; and
the cop-on-queer stompin' at LBGT earlier thisyear;
and whats that he's been accused of? Ahh, geeze,
sexual harrassment,
pedophilia and
beastiality--with a fern plant, a barfly, and a jackalope at Perry's! hehehee that's my bit-o-web disinformation...many can play the same game...better be careful who ya fok with, dude. hardeharhar

by repost Report from Gay SHAME site
San Francisco- Sunday, June 30, Gay Shame participants arrived at the SF Pride Parade to create an alternative to the consumerism, blind patriotism, and assimilationist agenda of the Parade. Participants were greeted with violence at the hands of both the Pride safety monitors and the police. Safety monitors began pushing Gay Shame participants at Market and Eighth Streets, and police officers followed by clubbing the crowd. Two people were arrested, property was confiscated, and several people suffered injuries at the hands of Pride safety monitors and the police.
In the commotion ensuing after police (and pride 'monitors') aggression, one participant, Lavern, accidentally spilled coffee on a police officer. She was then targeted by the police, grabbed and restrained. After the crowd rallied to her side, she was handcuffed, dragged half a block, and thrown into a Burger King that police commandeered as an impromptu headquarters. Inside she was held face-down on the floor as protesters demanded her release. She was then forced into a police vehicle and taken to the Southern Police Precinct at 850 Bryant. In the course of her arrest, another protester, Dennis, was dragged into a waiting police van. The police planned to hold Denis for the maximum allowable duration for public drunkenness, until his lawyer demanded a breathilizer, which showed he was sober. Both Lavern and Dennis were held for several hours and then released. Dennis's charges were dropped, but Lavern still faces a misdemeanor charge of assault on a police officer.

Gay Pride's roots lie in the famous and everyday acts of queer resistance to police brutality (Stonewall Riots. Compton Cafeteria Riots, etc). Gay Shame continues this legacy by calling attention to the increasingly conservative concerns of the gay mainstream, which sees assimilation into the dominant culture (at any cost) as the primary goal of queer struggle. "It is ironic that volunteer pride monitors demanded the arrest of protesters for continuing the radical tradition that began gay liberation," says Reginald Lamar, Gay Shame participant.

by volunteer pride monitors demanded the arrest
the repost proves nothing of your claims...?
how could you think this would answer anything?

but .......... volunteer pride monitors demanded the arrest of protesters!!
so you where arrested as a result of complaints from "gay observers of the parade" and you are trying to blame every one but your self for your foolishness

SHAME IS RIGHT
by time for your chamomile tea dear
ooh!

someone's getting pushy and demanding, and they're not my kin or kid!?! huh.

Looking for answers, go to the library, pick up a book?

You get what you pay for, darlin'...in your vernacular, right?

as for your thoughts

here nor there, but nontheless valid... to you, cult of one

your style of argumentation is self-evident, transparent

easy to spot, and silly at best

goodnight angry one, i hope you sort it out soon

a good start:
break the chains of your self-constructed self-destructive desires to spread anger and apathy for the poor and weak and queer and strong and well **** those that just plain don't agree with you.

Read Audrey Lourde, Frye, or Belle Hooks, who is really into love now that she's found it--see articles on "Anger," .

we're out here and we're not going away anytime soon

oh and don't turn around and start another line of personal attacks, since this will be the last time this author will respond directly to ones looking only to pick a fight not to make change. Give a hoot, don't pollute...here or anywhere.

Accusatory tones belong in the courtrooms, and in the interrogation rooms at your local cop-shops. oy vay
by or, why are you so angry?
>goodnight angry one, i hope you sort it out soon

what is it about new agey white middle class neo-californians that make them want to view all forms of anger as pitiable? being angry at gavin newsome's tired old tirades against the homeless is worthy of focused, righteous anger. maybe you should talk more with oppressed peoples and find out why exactly "we're so angry," and maybe you'll begin to understand. sheesh. you're bein' silly. shoo. go light a candle or something.

go gay shame!
by that was last year
to the person who wanted us to tell you why we disrupted the event, and to the person who posted the stuff from the gay shame website: that was an account of last year's pride parade. not yesterday. just wanted to clarify...

and if you're so interested in hearing our reasoning, find out for yourself: http://www.gayshamesfbay.org

>>volunteer pride monitors demanded the arrest of protesters!!by volunteer pride monitors demans...SHAME IS RIGHT>>

the above earned response from "it's tea time"-- from what i can gather...its tea time is directed at hater-of this-anti-zion-site-indy spammer who takes anti-zionism very seriously and lets that mood bleed in to other threads, condemning protesters using false dilemnas throughout threads unrelated to zionism...oh, except pro-forest activism, she spammed them but stated she loves trees and forest activist, but still hates this "anti-zion" (her words) site.

please let's keep thread on issue and not about personal attacks...dissent is good, debate good, back biting, petty bickering bad. pushing wedges divides, and is not good for the daily workers for social change.

take it or leave it, just my opinion....
support the Gay Shame! Six

by watched it unfold.... working with the poor,
am poor...and just joined Shame! work for peace
by why are you so angry?
>tea time posted at spammer

could be -- my apologies if i'm taking this incorrectly. there have been a lot of accusations flying here of late, and i'm a little sensitive about the whole "why are you so angry" thing. in any case, onward.

in solidarity,

why are you so angry?
