Lavender Flu – National Day Without a Gay: Can’t work, I’m too gay today, 12/10/08


This idea is like a sick-out where people call in sick to demonstrate a protest about something.  From National Day Without a Gay site:

Gay people and our allies are compassionate, sensitive, caring, mobilized, and programmed for success. A day without gays would be tragic because it would be a day without love.
On December 10, 2008 the gay community will take a historic stance against hatred by donating love to a variety of different causes.

On December 10, you are encouraged not to call in sick to work. You are encouraged to call in “gay”–and donate your time to service!

December 10, 2008 is International Human Rights Day. CLICK HERE to join us, and search or add to the list of human rights organizations that need our help RIGHT NOW.

And, from Firedoglake, a link to volunteer opportunities on that day:

In Southern California, gay-out participants are readying themselves to help fire victims along with helping out other service groups, and Day Without A Gay has a a state-by-state listing of volunteer opportunities.

    I don’t think this is a practical idea, but as for the boycotts (Mormon cult, Mariott, Catholic church), more power to ‘em!
