[...] CarErin Davies is truly a unique and courageous individual. I first found out about her at Friendly Atheist, and have been looking into her story. Erin has risked a great deal in order to try to discover [...]

Thanks for posting this link, Hemant. I read Erin's story and decided to contact her to see if she would like to be on the Atheists Talk radio show. And yes, she agreed! I just finished talking to her and she is set to be on the air on Sunday, July 20th and 9:00 am Central Time. Here is the link to the radio show. (Use Zip 55112 to stream if you are outside of Minnesota.)

I sent Erin the full size photo and some smaller ones from the same parade.

Hi folks, this is Erin Davies of fagbug. Seems to be some confusion around my sexual orientation for some reason. To put that to rest, yes I am a lesbian. I’ve been out as gay since I was 17 years old and just turned 30 this year, so I’ve been out for over 13 years. Thanks for leaving all the comments!

Also for the person who posted the pic of me at Vancouver Pride, can you please email that to me at erin@fagbug.com? Thanks!

I think gays and atheists are the last two acceptable scapegoats.

Yeah, the article does say that . . . weird. Huh. She told us she was just a supporter . . .

Maybe the Ally label is a good way to test the waters and become comfortable with being gay without picking up all the cultural baggage of homosexuality from the get-go. And other times being an ally is just being an ally.

Anyways, at my college campus the BGLAAD-equivalent used to put out rainbow doors on the quad for Coming Out Week, and one year they were spray-painted the same way. They, too, left the graffiti on, for the same reason.

The next year the doors were attacked with golf clubs.

What gets me is the ‘U R Gay’ graffiti. I mean, LOL-speak aside, how stupid is that? The car had a rainbow sticker, so either the driver was gay or was a supporter. That means that calling them gay would elicit a ‘So what?’ or a ‘Yes. Yes I am’.

How can anyone call religions tolerant when they fight for their right to discriminate or attack other people?
