I thought of a great way to show your face at the Inauguration in DC or your town!

I will turn my back in defiance when Warren speaks at the Inauguration, but I thought about what would be a great way to show your support for equal rights for all and make it a very visual reckoning for the millions that will be watching the Inauguration and how something every graphic with the element of warpaint could be displayed by those attending.
Add that it would be easy to do. And if security asks you what is on your face, you simply say you are here to represent those for equal rights for all.
It's blue face paint (I choose blue for being a blue state country but you can use any color or colors you want) and the face marks of the Equal Sign are on the forehead, designating that equal rights is in your mind and an Equal sign for each cheek, which could be a Biblical reference for turning the other cheek.
I'll do this.
Spread the word or do it at home when you watch the Inauguration.
Of course, if you want the Full Effect and it would demand some fairly complicated face painting, this is the Beautiful Option:

I am at a loss for words.

2. I like how it would be really visual to TV viewers and is kind of like war paint
A water soluble blue magic marker bought at a Walgreen's (or wherever) could easily do a hundred faces or more. It would be easy to do and so many people would want to do it.
Obviously, someone with high visibility who could be interviewed would want to explain the markings, but it really should be done. Let's call it grassroots at the face level.
Totally at a loss for words.

7. I doubt they would allow a roll of tape.
Better have it taped already to your belly and move it once in.
'they' being Obama's security people, that is.

9. i love the idea but...
I'm not sure people would realize they are equal signs. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was stripes. I'd rather see you guys write equality on your foreheads.
DUmming it down, so to speak.

I for one am glad they are into symbolism and not action. I would hate to see a bunch of em killed off.

Is this zucchini primitive one of the gay ones?
I've never seen him before.

Somebody needs to email the secret service and DHS and tell them that mobs of gay anarchists with rainbow facepaint are going to disrupt the inauguration proceedings due to outrage over Prop 8. :-)
Most of them will probably just wind up copying and pasting rainbows over their faces and sending the pictures as if they were actually protesting.

Never seen this one before, Frank. I imagine if you trace it's message history it will all be in the GLBMTHWZY...or whatever forums.

I thought they said they were going to be using some type of paint on explosive to pull of this little stunt. :uhsure:

Oh yeah... stupidest ****ing idea all week. :p

I will turn my back in defiance when Warren speaks at the Inauguration
All these idiots are gonna do is make others mad at them. You just know any in attendance will start shouting "Turn your back on him! He's the one not in favor of gay rights!," and others around them will tell them to be quiet and to shhhhhh!
Of course they'll lie and report to their fellow primitives they got hundreds to turn around in defiance, but that's to be expected.
