Activism On Wheels
Erin Davies Volkswagen Beetle was tagged with the words "fag" and "u r gay" on the driver's side and hood of her car. Rather than get it fixed, she embraced what happened by keeping the graffiti on her car for a year to evoke a dialogue with the general public about homophobia. Not only did she want America to see the spray-painted words, she wanted help with a solution. Her 58-day cross-country trip in the Fagbug led to an award-winning documentary about her adventure.
