FAGBUG! Erin Davies of Albany, N.Y. was the victim of a hate crime on April 18, 2007, the national Day of Silence. Her 2002 VW Beetle was vandalized with red spray paint with the words "fAg" and "U R gAy" written on the hood and driver's door. Davies believes the crime was a response to a rainbow sticker she had on her car. Rather than stay embarrassed, Davies has decided to travel around the country in her bug as a visual testament to the homophobia that continues to exist. She is also interviewing everyone she can during her trip to record their reactions and engage in the dialogue her car has started around the country. Erin has made a documentary about her travels, which will be shown @ 4:30 in the Mays Center. The Fagbug itself will also be on campus during most of the day- look for it on Alumni Walk!
