- Erin Davies and her “Fagbug” will be on campus for a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) awareness event on Oct. 10 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. More than seven years ago, Davies’ Volkswagen Beetle was tagged with “fag” and “u r gay” on the driver’s side and hood. She decided to embrace what happened by keeping the graffiti on her car for one year to evoke a dialogue with the general public about homophobia. Davies then planned a 58-day cross-country trip in her car now known worldwide as the “Fagbug” and produced an award-winning documentary about the adventure. She has visited more than 130 schools to bring awareness about hate crimes and to confront homophobia. Davies’ bug will be on display from 9 a.m. to noon, followed by a seminar concluding at 1 p.m.
