Yep, sounds like an ANSWER slogan to me. They always sound the same. Just wait, all the little signs they carry will be ANSWER as well. Please, people, wake up to the infestation of the gay community by these jerks.

What: Join Gay Shame for a late entry into the Cutest of the Castro beauty pageant
When: Sunday Oct. 3rd 2:30 pm
Where: Meet at the special strategically located Gay Shame convergence center:18th St. between Castro and Hartford
Dress to absolute, terrifying, ragged, devastating excess and bring...
Blackened teeth, low-carb Iraqi crude (looks good, feels better), video head cleaner, botox damage, extreme collagen makeovers, creatine muscle madness, tina, Kimberly's coke, diamonds anything camouflage, the now-legal AK 47, blood (just in case the police or pride monitors aren't present), decaf Greay Goose appletinis, more diamonds Tiffany's wedding bands, liposuction leftovers, photo-facial blush, sweatshop swimsuit coture (for the talent segment), depth, inner beauty and charm.
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.
open meetings EVERY saturday at 5:30 pm
in the back room of Modern TImes books

Is this event hosted by/perpetuated by ANSWER? I'd like to know before attending. We really need an LGBTQ response to racism within our communities, but not a cooptation of this serious issue.
No. ANSWER is just one of the sponsors. Read the original message. This is a true grassroots response to racism/sexism in the Castro....so come out!!! And bring your own damn sign! :)
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
