Gay Shame SF, an intersectional political action group which is every bit as sane and reasonable as its name suggests, had a stenciling campaign where they spray painted "DIY business is still gentrification" on the sidewalk in front of hip local businesses in the mission neighborhood of SF. hilariously they spray painted this message in front of Modern Times Bookstore which is not only a local DIY business that has been there since the 70s, but is also the place where Gay Shame SF meets, infuriating the owners to the point where they almost got forbidden from returning there.

Feminists, Queers and Allies of The Feminist Bookstore!

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of Portland are upon you. The hopes and prayers of LGBQTIA+ people everywhere, march with you. In company with our brave radical leftists and queer-life friends on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of gentrification, the elimination of transmisogyny, and security for queer expression in a safe space.

Your task will not be an easy one. The patriarchy has hostile memes, a callous disregard for safe spaces and Donald Trump. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 2016! Much has happened since the Bush triumphs of 2000-2008. The LGBQTIA+ alliance have inflicted upon the cishetero great defeats on social media. Our tweet offensive has seriously reduced their strength on Twitter and their capacity to wage war on Tumblr. Our Feminist Bookstores have given us an overwhelming superiority in the rejection of patriarchal capitalist notions of education, employment and marriage, and placed at our disposal great reserves of disability funding. The tide has turned! The free wymy of Portland are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your rejection of privilege, devotion to queer expression and skill in intersectionality. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of people of color upon this great and noble undertaking.
