Hamilton Fringe Festival posters with feminist and LGBT themes defaced
HAMILTON — Posters advertising Hamilton Fringe Festival shows with LGBTQ and feminist themes have been defaced with Bible verses condemning homosexuality and female independence.
On Saturday afternoon, festival organizers posted a photo on Twitter of posters for the show “S.C.U.M.: A Manifesto,” a satire about Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist who shot Andy Warhol.
In the photo, the faces on the poster are obscured by stickers containing lines from the Book of Romans about women’s inferiority to men.
The festival’s Twitter post asked for help in identifying the vandal.
