On Halloween, Fort Lauderdale churchgoers waiting in line for early voting got
bottled water, folding chairs, and candy from various activists–plus
sign displays from young Republicans pretending to be far-left
Democrats. Joshua Bearman talked with the ringleader, who had a big Kerry/Edwards sign topped with an even bigger sign proclaiming “Support gay adoption.”
“I know all about Polk street and the
Castro,” he said. “Stanford University. Im from San Francisco, and Im
for gay marriage.” He was wearing a yellow golf shirt, tucked into
khaki chino shorts with a call phone clipped to his belt the
Republican uniform. “Our candidate, John Kerry, supports gay marriage,
gay adoption, everything gay.”

Yeah, right. This is *exactly* how gay activists talk. [End sarcasm]
Once Bearman started photographing these “Democrats”, they quickly gathered their signs up and ran away.
Thanks to Joshuah Bearman for a great story and to Atrios for the link.
