What a trooper.

Makes me wonder how poeple/the media would have reacted if instead of "fag" someone sprayed "jew" on the car.

Makes me think. Upvote.

why would she show the actual emails she got from strangers for everyone on the web to see? with full names? besides that being illegal i guess, what was she thinking? Maybe some of those folks prefer not to be openly gay and she just outed them? that was insensitive.

Around the 25 min mark there is a horrible story about a gay guy that gets murdered. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and it is actually much worse than I thought, the murderer served less than 2 years:

Jeez.. the details of Ryan Skipper's murder are just greusome. Poor guy was stabbed twenty times...

the weird drama is kinda silly,... and then all the sudden we're visiting cemeteries and candle-light vigils. Wow.

I'd drive a fagborghini any day!

Okay, I just past the half way point of this documentary, and I am beginning to get the feeling that the original filmmaker, Erin, REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wants this issue to stay alive, despite the fact that it's been naturally dwindling down drastically after the 1st week.

Restoring the vandalized sign? Really???? I mean that was just weird. And the roadtrip and the stickers, I can see that to someone else it wouldn't make sense. It seems like a personal thing than actually trying to solve the problem. She's tackling the problem in her own way, but to someone else it may look inefficient. Getting as much media coverage and exposure of this matters is good (for example, THIS DOCUMENTARY), but yet she is also doing a lot of extra things that are actually counter-productive. Erin is angry, and rightly so, but it's preventing her from thinking things through to become more effective. She's already lost some of her close friends because of her confusing acts, and I wouldn't blame them.

Take a look at 00:36:55 when the woman being interviewed thinks your car had been vandalized because of the car's license plate. Trying to change the licence plate to 'Fag Bug' would make it look like you are actually like the term, yet the very point of this trip is to speak against calling gays/lesbians 'ur a fag'. It's just confusing as fuck.

Obviously she didn't plan this trip months ahead, and it was a spur of the moment thing. And I am starting to get the sense of her personality, someone who reacts emotionally and fatalistically and dive into the cause. at 00:42:00 she talks of how her lease is ending and her girlfriend won't be there when she comes back from the trip. She's putting everything on the line, meaning that she took this trip without resolving these matters before hand. A lot of loose ends that creates all these problems for her. She suggests that this is the kinds of sacrifice she's making for this trip, but I personally think these 'sacrifices' could've easily been avoided had she though things through a bit. A different person could have gone on this trip and things may have been a lot more organized.

Starting from 00:45:50, She also mentions that 99% of negative feedback came from the gay community. Now she never gets into why that's happening. That's probably because she doesn't understand the phenomenon herself. I may have a wild guess as to say that the gay community may have the same issue I am having with Erin. Her whole trip and this 'movement' is very self centered and unorganized, and even though the goal of this project may be clear to Erin, the portrayal of the message is unclear and confusing for others. Again, this is another case where a bit of organization and less complication would have eased the tension between her and the gay community.

I commend her for putting all the efforts to fight for what she is passionate about. But frankly, she's doing some weird shit to try to keep this thing alive, nor is she making it easy for people to understand it.
