On April 18, 2007, Erin Davies’ VW Beetle was vandalized with homophobic graffiti in Albany, NY. Rather than being intimidated, Davies transformed the car into a symbol of hope, driving it through all 50 states to spark conversations about homophobia, hate crimes, and acceptance. The Fagbug is on display at the New York State Museum, through July 8, 2029.
