KLAN ( AS IN KU KLUX ) WILL BE IN AUSTIN NEXT SATURDAY

But it's not your usual nig bashing visit. No sir. This time they are gathering to support the amendment to ban gay marriage, or as a klan spokesman put it " to support christian values". Apparently they are putting aside the hate of all the "mud people" to spread some hate on gay people. Wow...the klan has really evolved.
But in Austin? Sure, it's the capitol of Texas, and while it is slowly turning into a cesspool of conservative horseshit, it is still an island of tolerance in a state full of backward redneck idiots. Austin has a large population of gay and lesbian folk, who by and large live unmolested and accepted in this city.
I live in this city too, and sometimes forget how unique it is in comparison to the rest of the state. I remember the last time the klan came into town, in conjunction with a multi purpose march of liberal causes...I was there, with my son slung over my shoulder in a papoose carrying a sign that said "there's enough for all our need but not for all our greed" . Along the shoal creek trail part of the march, a busload of the hooded peckerwoods passed on a bridge...we pelted the bus with gravel and rocks.It was 1986.
So...in solidarity with our gay brothers and sisters, me and my buddy Don and hopefully our boss Rusty and the other Don will be there to show the klan that they and the ideology of klan hatred are no more welcome in this town than they were 19 years ago.
We represent a rainbow coalition of our own...Me: Tattooed skinhead looking radical liberal...Don...ex army black dude from Jersey...Rusty...longhaired skater era liberal radical and the other Don...50 something old austin hippy. Diversity aligned in a common cause.
It should be interesting.
"Christian values" Please...
