This Week's Party Crasher

Posted by on Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 12:18 PM

e882/1232155263-partycrasher-ricin.jpgThis week in Party Crasher, Dan Savage goes out with some City Council members on a gay pub crawl.

If you couldn't make Friday night's we-will-not-be-intimidated-by-unusually-literate-death-threats gay-bar pub crawl, you weren't alone. Sally Clark, one of the two gayest members of the Seattle City Council, had a prior engagement. But Clark wanted to show her support for the gay bars and clubs that received letters threatening ricin attacks last week.

So she invited the entire city council to join her on a gay pub crawl on Saturday night. A quorum of councilors—Clark was joined by Tom Rasmussen, Bruce Harrell, Tim Burgess, and Richard Conlin—were able to, er, come out; they were joined by openly gay state senator Ed Murray.

You should read the whole thing.
