Pattern and repetition are essential in getting your point across. A recent instance can be found on Kingsway, where a run of I LOVE LESBIANS spray-painted messaging now decorates its "golden mile"(between Carolina and Welwyn).
Although once known for its automotive repair shops, Kingsway's golden mile is now home to Canada's largest and mostly youngest lesbian community, leading some to refer to this strip as the Castrol District. Every now and then, community members provide thoughtfully placed, felt-tipped graffiti to register this presence, but the latest run of I LOVE LESBIANS graffiti has topped that.
The poster (above) acts as a ground for this activity. Atop the poster we see the hashtag #proudtobealesbian, and below, vancouverlesbancollective.com. In the middle:
"I am proud of dancing naked under the stars to lesbian music with thousands of lesbians at Mitchfest."
What's Mitchfest? Well, rather than hear about it from me, click here for a story about how it came to be -- and why it passed away.
