WATCH: Activists Glitter-Bomb Anti-Gay Fair Booth in Minnesota

Here's the info:
Glitter rained down from the heavens in a "Minnesota Miracle" on the anti-marriage equality booth at the Minnesota state fair. LGBT equality activists showered the booth from a skilift shouting: "where's our booth?" and "equality for all" in reference to the strange appearance of the anti-gay booth despite the exclusion of a pro-equality booth on the fairgrounds.

"As LGBT people are excluded from basic rights like marriage, the voices of marriage equality activists in Minnesota were excluded from having a booth at the Minnesota state fair," said participant Joanna Hirvela, "but we will not be silenced. Wherever there is bigotry, let there be glitter."

Now that was a great tactic! I'll just bet next time they won't put their booth so close to an aerial delivery platform.

And the look on the guy in the booths face is interesting. Talk about a sour puss. I bet that's why he's staffing it, and probably why he never gets laid.

Glitter-bombing folks is going to backfire on us, and we need to cut it out. At the very least it is a public nuisance, and it could arguably be battery. I just don't see any good coming from it.
