Someday soon, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida could play host to a giant pink phallus. Over the holiday season, the city hosted ceremonies for the lightings of a Christmas tree and a Menorah.
Government officials promoted them, suggesting “the public square was open to anyone who wanted to host similar” religious celebrations. Now comes Chaz Stevens.
He’s asked the city for permission to celebrate the Shinto “Festival of the Steel Phallus” on April 2nd, honoring Kanamara Matsuri. The centerpiece of that celebration would be a “300-pound, six-foot-tall pink penis.”
Stevens also adds the proceeds from the celebration would go to “AIDS research and LGBTQIA+ awareness,” and he plans to hire a police offers to guard that giant member. If the dong is denied, it could lead to a religious discrimination lawsuit.
