2008 Beaver Queen chases off protesters
Unfortunately, i was sidetracked on Saturday afternoon and wasn't there to witness the scene myself, but my inbox is overflowing this morning with tales of the Fabulous Fishscenta Beaver confronting a horde of anti-gay protesters at the Carolina Theater this past weekend. Apparently, the reigning Queen chased off the forces of intolerance at the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival with a rendition of "I've Got Rhythm," urging them to go home and "REPAINT and thin no more as there were several very drab looking crosses the protesters were carrying."

The reigning queen was quite amazing!
At first the crowd thought that the drag queens had arrived. It turned out to be way better. It was phishcenta.(sp?)
She was gentle and firm with her beaver tales.
She worked the entire crowd, including the bicycle police officers present.
Festival volunteers were truly amazed when she predicted that they protesters would be gone by 4pm.
The protesters arrived before 9am and had amazing lung capacity. After working her Beaver Queen magic for a few hours the protesters indeed packed up and were gone by 4pm.
Many people where very pleased to have been given pellets as proof of her existence.
She is MORE than welcome back to the festival and we expect to give her a proper "Thank You" at pride in September.

There were a lot of people taking pictures and at least one college-aged guy filming so there is definitely footage floating around.
