About Me


What is Fagbug?
On the 11th annual National Day of Silence (April 18, 2007), Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, NY. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin's car was vandalized, left with the words "fAg" and "u r gay" placed on the hood and driver side of her car. Despite initial shock and embarassment, Erin's decided to embrace what happened and film a documentary about her 58-day cross country tour around the US and Canada in her car known worldwide as the fagbug. The film follows Erin's quest to drive her vandalized car over the course of one year and is scheduled to have its worldwide premiere at Sundance January 2009 if all goes as planned.
What's the Goal?
Erin's goal is to get 1 million people (both gay and straight) to add rainbow fagbug stickers to their cars so no one will be targeted like she was again. To order fagbug stickers go to fagbug.com
Booking Fagbug?
Upon the completion of the Fagbug cross country tour, Erin's editing the fagbug documentary, writing a book and speaking at college campuses across the country. To bring Fagbug to your campus email Erin at [email protected]
