A Day Without a Gay?

I shudder at the thought, and so should you ( a day without Rachel Maddow is one that should never be!). Click below to find out how to show the world, or at least California Prop 8 supporters, how integral "the gays" are to our society, our economy, and our culture. From the 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!

You can be totally lazy and also make this your Human Rights Day action by clicking here. Win-win!

How will you help?

December 10th is Human Rights Day.

The 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights occurs on December 10, 2008, and the UN Secretary-General has launched a year-long campaign to lead up to this anniversary. Because the UDHR holds the world record as the most translated document (with more than 360 language versions available), organizations around the globe will be able to use the year to focus on helping people everywhere learn about their rights.

What will you do to help people learn about their rights? Here are some suggestions:

Join Human Rights Watch or check out what's happening over at Students for a Free Tibet. You can also attend Amnesty International's Human Rights Day conference by clicking here or click here and scroll to the bottom for events being held around the globe.

There is a ton more to do, but I'm too lazy to post more and my son is having surgery so I leave you to your own devices to do something, anything to honor the day.
