Actually I happen to know Starchild and seen him in full drag and butterfly wings, and I've met Gary Copeland who wears the Druid outfit and who spit on a reporter.
Given the fact that our party represents freedom for everyone, it attracts those who want to exercise it the most flamoyantly. I would honestly prefer if they would stop showing up at conventions or at least act with a little bit more decorum, only because I'd like media to focus more on our views on the issues rather than looking for the freakiest among us to put on camera. I fully support their right to be as strange as they choose, but I think they should be willing to "normal" it up a bit for the team.
