DAY WITHOUT A GAY: 12/10/08



1918 Vintage will be closed on 10/12/08 to observe Day Without A Gay! A nationwide peaceful protest of Prop 8. If you'd like to help out with this event, Join the Impact has written a lovely set of tips!

TEN TIPS ABOUT WHAT TO DO ON DECEMBER 10:
  1. Wake up for work on Wednesday December 10th... and call in GAY.
  2. Go to the bank and take $80 out of your account... put it in your pocket and KEEP IT THERE.
  3. Do not go get your morning latte
  4. Do not purchase anything
  5. Do not contribute to advertising revenue: Meaning, spend 24 hours of your life without TV & Internet
  6. Do not use your cell phone, even if you have unlimited minutes
  7. Instead, DO volunteer. Give to the community and reach out to those that don't understand our community. Check your state page for local volunteer opportunities.
  8. If you must spend, only do so at an LGBTQ owned establishment with an LGBTQ clientel
  9. You have weeks to prepare, so go grocery shopping now.
  10. VOLUNTEER. We are fighting for human rights, so let's take a day to fight for the rights of those in need. Check your state page for local volunteer opportunities.
