The student group’s unique message is” criticism on how gay identity is commodified, fetishized, and occasionally… monetized,” the student group claims.
In order to encourage a pro-Christian and Easter text, one repainted The Rock on Northwestern University’s school in place of the pro-Grindr and gay video content that was previously displayed there.
Students and groups frequently use The Rock as it sounds; it’s a part of a custom at the college to discuss a variety of messages.
However, the party” Homo NU” used it this year to encourage the gay hookup apps Grindr and Gay4Pay, which refers to bisexual men acting in queer video for money.
Someone else painted Easter colours, a cross, and the word” He is Risen” on top of The Rock just in time for Easter, it is unknown who.
In order to encourage its quarterly group, the party painted the Grindr and Gay4Pay logos on The Rock on April 18. The movie,” Go to the Diary of a Gay Fundy now,” was posted as a campaign video. Be prepared for the service of tomorrow.
The team posted a picture of the newly painted Easter style with the message” Jesus in the front, Judas in the back” on the group’s image.
The LGBT team responded when asked what the determination and intention were behind the Grindr and Gay4Pay logos for The Rock to be painted.
The party stated in a later Instagram information that it is” not affiliated with Northwestern University” and that it is not a “name for citation.”
The team shared the following with The College Fix on Instagram:
Was it a ripoff? Yes. Was it divine? In a unique way, completely. There’s a reason why it hasn’t been painted over however. Grinder is the burning bush of our generation, but it only says” Supp” in place of” God”? “at 2am. Gay 4 Pay and Grindr are loud, bold, and proudly queer, and well, a little shocking.
It makes a comment on how queer identification is fetishized, commodified, and occasionally paid. I’m not here to comfort individuals. I’m around to elicit a response and perhaps a dozen smiles. Mission accomplished, if it made one brake their pearls. grow away. Find employment. Touch some foliage with your hands.
Official Rock rod film was included in Homo NU’s video. I actually had to wait for NUPD to grant me the right to apply color because I was working very hard to build trust, Homo_nu said.

Any student party artwork The Rock if camp out at The Rock for 24 hours before moving it to the dark and paint it in the middle of the night, according to the group’s instructions. The screen is finally guaranteed for 24 hours before another team can cover it with paint.
However, the team posted screenshots of a discussion about The Rock’s pattern on April 22.
I always complained when they allegedly removed the bridge from my Grindr logo.
The organization calls itself” NU’s Gay Party Org.” It posts that it is” Donald Trump’s Nightmare,”” President ] Michael Schill’s Wet Dream,” and” Certified Willie Lover.” It appears to be a branch of the Queer Media Association of Northwestern.
