A link to this documentary, Fagbug, was sent to me via a friend with the note, "This is a great documentary to watch for Pride Weekend." (Oklahoma City celebrated Pride this weekend.) This is a great documentary, period. More here:
Fagbug Documentary (83 minutes)Erin Davies is an inspiration.
On the 11th Annual National Day of Silence, Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, New York. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin's car was vandalized, left with the words "fag" and "u r gay" placed on the driver's side window and hood of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. She took her car, now known worldwide as the "fagbug," on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada. Along the way, Erin discovered other, more serious hate crimes, had people attempt to remove the graffiti, and experimented with having a male drive her car. After driving the fagbug for one year, Erin decided to give her car a makeover. To watch Fagbug for free on Hulu click here.
