Mancias and Byers are members of CODEPINK, an anti-war activist group known for its protests and demonstrations. CODEPINK founder Medea Benjamin told ABC News the glittering was planned to bring attention to the need for equal rights for all as well as singling out Pawlenty for his views on gay marriage.
“This is the home of Harvey Milk,” Benjamin said. “This is where people flock around the country to be able to live freely and express themselves as gay and lesbian people. It’s the place where we respect each other and celebrate diversity and to have Tim Pawlenty be there spewing what we consider homophobic attitudes and non inclusive policies in opposition to gay marriage is an affront to people in the Bay area and around the country who believe in equal rights for all.”
Yeah, Harvey Milk, who aided and abetted a mass murderer by the name of Jim Jones. There’s your hero, Susie!
