We need to have a massive protest. Citywide, statewide, nationwide. A protest that isn’t an in your face protest but a reminder of a right that isn’t ours. We could stand out in the streets yelling, we could pass out pamphlets, we could have a sit in at some government office. I think it is time for a new idea, and changing of the tables. We need to take the bar crawl and make it a protest. We’ll do
The Gay Bachelorette Party-Bar-Crawl for Gay Marriage Protest
And we will do it in straight bars around the country. Here is the plan.
Get a group of people of the same sex together of about 7-10. This is your Bachelorette party. Choose a “Bride-to-not-be” whose wedding we can’t celebrate because we can’t get married. Then go out bar hopping. Just like bachelorettes do, but instead of going to a gay bar, or a drag show, go to only straight bars. Play the same silly games they do. Scream as loud as they do. Dress in stupid ways they do. If you want to wear a dress, please do. But try not to make it a drag outfit. (Unless you are getting together drag queens in your group and all of you are in total drag.) Have a sign or shirts that proclaim: Free Gay Marriage. You can think of other slogans as appropriate for your area, keep it fun, and pleasant.
You don’t have to talk to anyone or debate. Just show up, have fun, let people see you, and move on. If the bride wants to cry because he/she can’t get married, that can be fun too. Keep this protest light, fun and easy on the hetros. We want to remind them that gay marriage should be allowed, and that we want to celebrate our love too.
The date for this will be: October 23, 2010
Email this to all your friends and lets get this protest going. See the event on Facebook under: The Gay Bachelorette Party-Bar-Crawl for Gay Marriage Protest. And join the Gay Bachelorette Group to share ideas and photos of your bachelorette parties!
