any feminists at dickinson up for some glitter bombing this year?
St. Paul, MN — Glitter rained down from the heavens in a “Minnesota Miracle” on the anti-marriage equality booth at the Minnesota state fair. LGBT equality activists showered the booth from a skilift shouting: “where’s our booth?” and “equality for all” in reference to the strange appearance of the anti-gay booth despite the exclusion of a pro-equality booth on the fairgrounds.
“As LGBT people are excluded from basic rights like marriage, the voices of marriage equality activists in Minnesota were excluded from having a booth at the Minnesota state fair,” said participant Joanna Hirvela, “but we will not be silenced. Wherever there is bigotry, let there be glitter.”
