Description

July 24 Halifax A group of eight women spray-painted over a wall mural located in the Turret, the Gay Community Centre operated by GAE. The painting, by Randy Gaynor, depicted two sets of female breasts with an electric current running between two nipples, all surrounded by a scroll of lipstick. The women vandals regarded the mural, nicknamed "The Tits," as sexist and a wanton objectification of female sexuality. Reaction to the defacing ranged from anger and shock to enthusiastic support.
