Whether they are leading a marketing effort called Project SCUM, directed at addicting young gay and lesbian people to tobacco or fighting against equal rights at the legislative level, they are targeting us,” said Gabe Glissmeyer, Out of the Smoke spokesman. “This party is your chance to have fun while letting Big Tobacco know that our community is made up of super heroes who aren’t buying the death wish that they are selling.”
