Wednesday, Dec. 10th, A Day Without Gays

On Wedneday, December 10 — International Human Rights Day — gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, and their allies are encouraged to turn off their computers, shut down their businesses, and call in "gay" for work. Participants are also asked to refrain from making purchases or spending money in any way, so as not to contribute to the economy.

In the wake of Prop 8 passing and the subsequent worldwide protests, "A Day Without Gays" is designed as a national day of protest to show our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers that they can deny us our rights, but we can deny them our labor and hit back where it hurts, the economy.

Organizers of this action are asking people to not only sit out of work, school, etc but to get involved with your local GLBT organization, or to protest against marriage inequality.

However, some gay-rights activists are concerned that skipping work and not spending money is a bad idea given the sad state of the economy.

What will you be doing tomorrow???
