Center's response to queer protest -- Goons.

In the lead-up to the protest, the Center did not respond to any of the letters it received from organizations that had signed on as sponsors. At the protest itself -- in the face of the clear message that the Center was becoming unwelcoming and/or unsafe for many queers -- the Center brought in private security (http://www.securityusainc.com) to keep queers out.
