NYC Activists End Hunger Strike Because Funding To Keep Them From Eating Ran Out
Alan Bounville, a 34-year-old activist in New York, called off his hunger strike nine days after swearing off food on Nov. 1 because Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wasn’t filing legislation to add gays to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Something about a lack of funding for the effort? Ms. Gillibrand has yet to file such a bill.
I’m sure these quasi-marxists mean well, but threatening self-harm, especially when no one cares, except maybe a few homophobes who are cheering you into self-destruction, and then pulling out short for lack of funding?
Here’s my advice: Live it up. Go eat some fried tofu at your favorite Thai resturant. Ride the Ferry or take a walk in Central Park while singing Autumn in New York. Wear your fabulous rainbow sash and have fun in the big Apple!

Idiots. Threatening suicide by starvation is childish. Grow up. It’s 2010 and the world has changed. Try to find something productive to do.
