Glamdalism

Creative (and camp) vandalism that favors bold hues of paint and glitter grenades.

On October 11, the radical gay activist group Bash Back! announced on its Web site:

HRC [Human Rights Campaign] headquarters was rocked by an act ofglamdalism last night by a crew of radical queer and allied folks armed with pink and black paint and glitter grenades. …

Gawker’s Brian Moylan hailed the group’s actions as “the first act of ‘glamdalism,’” and argued:

Not that we’re promoting something like vandalism (and the damage they did isn’t nearly as savage as the verbal attacks on their website), butglamdalism really needs to catch on. If we’re going to be protesting things by defacing them, the least we can do is make them pretty and glittery!
