On April 18, 2007, my VW bug was tagged with the words "fag" and "u r gay" on the hood and driver's side of my car for sporting a rainbow sticker. Rather than get it fixed, I decided to embrace what happened and keep the words on my car to evoke a dialogue with the general public about homophobia and hate crimes. Often times people think this type of thing doesn't happen because they don't see it. Not only did I want America to see it, I wanted help coming up with a solution so I launched a 58 day cross country trip with my car that is now known worldwide as the fagbug.
