The last time someone wore a pink shirt in Estacada, they nearly lost their life over it.
In the early '80's, a friend of the sister of a friend of mine (how do you like that chain of provenance?) wandered into the Safari Club in Estacada. He was wearing a pink polo shirt, and had stopped in to use the pay phone.

The last thing he remembers is using the pay phone, as he awoke several days later in the hospital with massive head injuries. I dunno; that town and pink don't seem to see eye to eye. I wonder how they feel about the Wrangler "Tough Enough To Wear Pink" campaign.

Does Estacada need a "Pinkwalk"?

I'm a little lost -- this happened three years ago? And now you write about it? I have witnessed gang violence with actual gunplay four times in my own neighborhood here in Portland over the last three weeks (not that anyone in our city of liberal Caucasians gives a damn, but hey, at least plastic bags are banned!) Not to mention real gays have been truly harmed right here in liberal Portland THIS YEAR! What is this woosy shit? What is the point? You think this wouldn't happen in certain parts of San Fran or NYC under the right circumstances? This is just a stupid whiny rant by a guy who clearly has no street smarts and it's designed to divide hipsters from hicks, and not an intelligent look at gaybashing.

Actually, if you'd read the dateline, you'd see that this happened nine years ago now. The article is from 2005.

How about we just burn Estacada to the ground? I bet no one will miss it.

Please wait...
