Well, if they didn't dress up in drag, this project wouldn't get much notice, would it?

:P

I wish them the best of luck. :)

What's the name of the song that Neil plays?

[SisterToSleepx]

Excellent organization. Thanks for the video, Ryan!

Best of luck to your organization!!! I'm a student working on a graduate project on Domestic Violence among gay men. I will mention your website and mission in my oral presentation. Thank you for your advocacy for abused gay men. I stand in ovation for what your organization stands for.

@rocky906 Yet the hate mongering that all those right-wing homophobes show year-round is completely acceptable . . .

@PMDXlover1849 The Ocean, I think

They have a NOLA band there!

Um, quick question, is Ryan a homosexual? Because if he is, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with that. Just wondering.....

[olsonlev]

No they wouldnt. But I dont think drawing attention to yourself by cross dressing

[rocky906]

I hear what your saying.

I think it is a terrible idea to dress up like vegabonds and prance around with pride in front of the local news media. It gives great ammunition for people on the right to ramble on about 'San Fransisco values'. It makes it much easier to illustrate all gays as loons.

Was that Ryan in the blue dress?
