A longtime civil rights activist has launched a new web site (Crusader's Corner) that will include his longstanding controversial column of the same name. The Southern California activist who overturned Disneyland's ban on same-sex dancing, after a brief hiatus, the Southern California activist who overturned Disneyland's ban on same-sex dancing has launched a new web site that features his controversial "Crusader's Corner" column.

    Crusader is an 46 year old activist, known formerly as Andrew Exler, who sued successfully Disneyland after being ejected from the amusement park while dancing in Tomorrowland with a male friend, bak in 1980.

    After this event, he legally changed his name to Crusader in 1995. On this website are featured a number of his successful protests and civil rights lawsuits, dating back to the 1970s when Crusader was only 11.

    First time published in the 1990s, “Crusader’s Corner” appeared in The Bottom Line, a gay-oriented magazine in Palm Springs. In that time, more advertisers threatened to pull their advertising if the publication didn't remove the column. According to Crusader, the publisher and editor Jim Suguitan stood behind the column and did not give in to the threats.

    This website focuses on people and events that have and probably will impact social change on many fronts, shaping the world, often with a humorous bent. The publisher of the defunct gay-oriented Lifestyle magazine once described this column as being: "Funny! Irreverent! Controversial!"

    Crusader’s new site includes a very funny 2004 parody poking fun at a so-called celebrity interviewer that nearly got Crusader sued. This one was originally published on metroG.com, but that gay webzine yanked it after the person parodied threatened legal action against both metroG and the Crusader.

    Crusader said that the parody incident lead to his hiatus as a visible activist and writer. "I decided to focus on my proofreading business and dropped my activism web site and most of my writing. I just recently discovered what was missing from my life these past few years: my writing and my activism!" he added.

    His writings are often filled with humorous quips about celebrities, sex, politics, religion, consumer rights issues and even weird happenings, although fighting for a cause is serious business for Crusader. He has penned articles for the national gay magazine The Advocate and several gay-related magazines in California, under the name Andrew Exler.
