Action Account: The hump-in

Gay Shame — the militant queer action cluster — recently elevated street tactics to a new level during an anti-war demonstration in San Francisco. The crowd was massive and bored, marching down the street like cattle in typical ANSWER fashion. Amongst the gloom, Gay Shame’s bullhorn was spewing brilliant, sexy free-association chants and propaganda as fast as they could think of them. Suddenly, the Metreon theater complex was down the street, and the Gay Shame bullhorner was screaming “let’s hump the Metreon to stop the war.” The group charged up to the thick metallic columns at the entrance, surrounding them with gyrating pelvic thrusts. Then, someone noticed that a Starbucks was across the street. Everyone had a collective Seattle WTO flashback.

The bullhorn rang out “hump Starbucks!” Seconds later, all the large plate glass windows were shaking as the Gay Shame marchers took down their pants and made love to the cold glass surface. It looked like the glass might break from the exertion. The scene must have been intense for the surprised coffee addicts inside. The movement’s newest tactic in the struggle for liberation had been unleashed — the hump-in. —PB
