Could Urban Be Protested Next? And now that they’re excited, one of the bloggers at All Spin Zone noticed that the next store with a Santorum-supporting owner to be protested could be none other than Urban Outfitters. As you may know, the store that became Urban was founded by Richard Hayne and Judy Wicks in West Philly back in the 1970s, and while Wicks now runs the White Dog Cafe and is into grassroots activism and all that jazz, Hayne is a supporter of Rick Santorum and sells $150 jeans and shirts that say things like “Erin Go Fuck Yourself.” As noted at All Spin Zone, Hayne isn’t a major backer of Santorum, donating only a thou to Santorum this cycle and $5K to the Republican Federal Committee of PA, but Guzzardi wasn’t a huge Santorum backer, either. And with Urban’s flagship store being right here on Walnut Street… well, let’s just say there could be a day coming where to get your ironic t-shirts, you might have to walk through a bunch of people chanting “Rick sucks!” or whatever it is they do at these things.

As covered earlier today, the 
No, Guzzardi wasn’t a huge backer of Santorum in the grand scheme, but what the media has failed to report of this story, and perhaps what we at Liberty City (et al) failed to get across at yesterday’s rally, is that Guzzardi has donated over $140,000 to anti-gay politicians and right-wing groups that help elect them. Santorum was only one of many beneficiaries, so we’re not squabbling over a mere 4K here. Guzzardi has a clear record of giving lots of money to anti-gay polticians- including Rick Santorum- and was the owner of the city’s most prominently gay gym. That’s the contradiction that spurred the outrage. (for example, no Pennsylvanian gives money to Colorado Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave unless they have it in for the gays)
Was Guzzardi doing anything anti-gay? No, he in fact owned a business catering to gays in a gay neighborhood.
The horror, these are the people who we should get rid of, post their names,numbers and addresses!! Wow, we’re so cool and smart.
