The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a lesbian group named Lesbian Visibility Project was going to local shopping malls to "shop 'til stigmas drop." The group said it wanted to raise people's consciousness about lesbians, and their slogan was "we're here, we're queer, and we're going shopping." The group also liked to sing one verse of "Deck the Halls," just so that they could sing the line "now we don our gay apparel."
