Probably the most interesting thing that I saw at PrideFest yesterday was the”fAg”bug. Erin Davies came to Pittsburgh from Albany, New York in her VW Beetle, which had been vandalized this past April 18th. Because Erin has a rainbow sticker on her car, someone painted”fAg”and”u r gay”on the hood and driver side of her car. Rather than cave into hate and clean the paint off of her car, Erin decided to leave the car as is in an effort to raise awareness about hate crimes and sexual prejudice. Erin is traveling around the country to gauge people’s reactions to her car:keeping a daily blog on her web site :and she will be making a documentary about her experiences in driving her car.
