Today is Day Without A Gay
Submitted by E. Ross on Wednesday, 10 December 2008 – 6:23 AM4 Comments
Today is December 10, International Human Rights Day. Today is also “Day Without a Gay.” We are asked to call in ‘gay’ to work, not contribute to the economy for one day, and spend the day helping others.
Day Without a Gay includes:
1. An economic Boycott. For one day, do not go to work (if possible) and do not buy anything. The LGBTQ community contributes $700 billion per year to the U.S. economy, but we don’t get the same rights as other citizens. Stop contributing to the economy for one day.
2. A day of Volunteering. Get out there and help a local gay rights group.
3. A day of Visibility. There are many ways to increase visibility for LGBT rights on Dec. 10. For example, wear a white knot for marriage equality (“because everyone should be able to tie the knot”) and pack your lunch instead of buying it.
What are you doing for Day Without A Gay?
