Greetings True Believers! Who killed the gay pride proclamation? Shawn Bunney!

RR Anderson’s latest political cartoon inspired by the recent attempt by organizers of the gay pride festival to get an proclamation or official recognition of the OUT IN TACOMA event from the pierce county council. Now for those who don’t know proclamations are given away like salt water taffy on a fourth of July parade. Hell you can fill out a form and have your model railroading hobbyist jubilee officially recognized for no other reason than to make the council members seem less detached from real boots-on-the-ground citizens. So what’s the big deal about getting your gay pride festival some recognition? How about election time. You see the pierce county council is mostly republicans elected by god fearing hillbillies–which to keep from FREAKING THE FUCK OUT it seems the gay pride proclamation was KILLED.

Also here is my submission to the first OUT IN TACOMA chalk challenge:

Mike Lonergan is on the Tacoma City Council. He’s running for Pierce County Council and an active board member of the Tacoma Rescue Mission. He’s on the record for standing up against benefits for same-sex couples.

enjoy!
