Minnesota Protesters Drop Glitter On Anti-Marriage Equality Fair Booth | For unclear reasons, the Minnesota State Fair found last-minute space for a booth for the coalition supporting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage (Minnesota For Marriage), but not for the pro-equality coalition opposing the amendment, Minnesotans United for All Families. To protest the seemingly unfair treatment, members of the “barbarian” group dumped glitter on the anti-gay booth from the skilift above, shouting “where’s our booth?” and “equality for all.” Watch it:
NEWS FLASH
Over 100 Barbarians Glitter ‘Marcus Bachmann’ Outside Ex-Gay Clinic |
A flashmob of over 100 “barbarians” approached one of Marcus Bachmann’s religious counseling clinics today in protest of the harmful ex-gay therapy they offer. Staff locked the horde out, so in lieu of confronting the actual Bachmann, the barbarians performed a ritual “glitter baptism” on “Marcus Bachmann,” as they continued to chant, “you can’t pray away the gay, baby I was born this way!” A smaller group similarly protested the clinic last month. The presidential candidate’s husband has previously compared homosexuals to “barbarians” who “need to be educated” and “disciplined.”
Update
Protest organizer Nick Espinosa now has video up of today’s demonstration. Watch it:
