Instructions for Gay Pride protestors on taking apart a police barricade. Promoted by the Gay Shame Movement, a group that protests the over-commercialization of the Gay Pride Movement by crashing pride parades around the world. “Alternative ‘Gay Shame’ events are being held in dozens of cities. The common theme: Corporate sponsorship is leading to the crass commercialization of the pride movement… Today, Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Shick, Miller Brewing Company, United Airlines, Bank of America, and Smirnoff are sponsoring pride celebrations in San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Toronto.” – George Sanchez, 2002, Mother Jones News website
