The Lesbian Avengers at the Portland bus mall, Sept. 10.
New bus line? Tri-A-Dyke
The Lesbian Avengers offered alternative
evening rush-hour transportation in downtown
Portland, on Sept. 10, in the form of a large
cardboard bus. The event was intended to call
attention to the apparent indifference of Tri-Met
personnel to harassment of lesbians and gay men
while riding the bus. The Homophobic Violence
Reporting Line documented 14 such cases last
year. The most recent incident occurred in July,
when a woman was verbally assaulted and struck
in the face. The driver did nothing to assist her.
Commuters were handed leaflets during the
action, but seemed generally impassive, said ob
server Ani Haines. The Avengers are calling on
Tri-Met to offer anti-homophobic workshops to
its employees and to develop and enforce a harass
ment intervention policy.
