San Francisco, Friday, October 24, Geary and Mason Streets, 5pm --
GAY SHAME, Riff-Raff Against Gavin (RAG), Fashionistas Against Gavin (FAG), and Terrorists Against Gavin (TAG) present the official Mary for Mayor Kick-Off Campaign Party. The ceremony will be conveniently located right in front of Gavin Newsom’s campaign fundraiser. Refreshments and glamour will be served with delicious abandon. This is a momentous occasion, and so we request that all participants and attendees dress to absolutely terrifying, ragged devastating excess. This is the first chance to hear Mary’s campaign platform. Mary says, “It’s time for a candidate who will put an end to Gavin Newsom’s aggressive panhandling to the rich. Why are hypocritical politicians like Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi clambering on the bandwagon to endorse this scoundrel? We’ve had enough of Napa wines and big fat lines.”
Gavin Newsom’s brutal Proposition M, the “Aggressive Solicitation Ban,” would put people in jail for panhandling. In effect, this punishes poor people for trying to satisfy their basic needs and violates basic rights to free speech. Like last year’s Prop N, “Care Not Cash,” Prop M criminalizes homeless people rather than providing desperately needed services. Mary will put an end to all violent reactionary attempts to sweep away “undesirables” and make San Francisco safe for gentrification and tourism, but unsafe for everyone else. As Gavin Newsom brought to our attention, last year over 169 homeless people died on streets of San Fransisco. After Mary is elected mayor, over 16,900 rich fascist politicians will be forced to relocate to the bottom of the San Francisco Bay. After all, we need comprehensive solutions to complex problems.
GAY 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. GAY SHAME is a celebration of resistance: all are welcome.
