sorry for the bad translation:

Alla luce degli avvenimenti recenti che hanno avvenuto nella condizione della California, molta gente ha deciso che è tempo di prendere gli argomenti nelle nostre proprie mani. Non ci sederemo indietro e non lasciamo il resto del mondo decidere che cosa possiamo e non possiamo fare in America il libero. Abbiamo preso in prestito dal movimento del Chicano ed abbiamo modificato il loro " Giorno senza un Mexican" in " Giorno senza un Gay." Questo concetto è semplice, ma ha un effetto enorme. Il 10 dicembre 2008 chiediamo che tutta la gente nella comunità di LGBT ed in tutti i nostri sostenitori denomina in malato per lavorare e non assistiamo alla scuola. Chiediamo che non comprate nulla che giorno. Vogliamo la California vederci quanto là sono e quella là può essere una persona nella loro vita che non hanno conosciuto erano gaie. Uniscali prego. So, personalmente, quanto estremamente difficile può essere di uscire ed essere aperta circa lei. Ho sormontato il mio timore e spero che tutti voi possa a pure. Dobbiamo levarci in piedi forti nella California ed intorno al paese. Abbiamo bisogno di quelli che si oppongono per sapere che siamo forti e che NON DAREMO MAI IN SU. Uniscali e guadagni la vostra uguaglianza. ** questo non si limita alla California ** Il Web site ufficiale: day without a gay * org

I'm gonna step in and say why not include everyone in the GLBT community? the B's and that T's always seem to be left out of events like this. I am a transgender person and I am working to expand minds and educate people on trans issues. I think we all need to stand together in order for out voice to be heard, loud and clear.

Stop bitching and start organizing to get the measure on the next ballot!

Day with out straight would be far more damaging and just as pointless.

The obvious notion is that without anyone one "group" of people life would be far more difficult...for many hands make the load light, so the saying goes.

I do love the poster presented here. So creative...and very powerful. Whoever created that, great job.

I know people who will like this and I'll share it with them, but I think it's bad idea, great for what it's trying to do as in making people feel energized and motivated...but over all I think what will end up happening is nothing.

I believe stubbornness is powerful and if you ever read the Bible and the story of Moses and Pharaoh---then you know how powerful stubbornness can be and that's what people are dealing with here.

now i have to remember not to call in sick that day lest anyone get the wrong idea...

but seriously, this is a great idea. perhaps i'll take the day off in solidarity.

uh oh, that's the day finals start :(

Hope that it fails ... like the other "without the" failed ...

Then it can be seen that it's insignificant ... as before, the economic effects will be unknown and the boycott will failto halt "business as usual", with commerce may slow a bit in certain areas [like the interior design shops, jk =-].

Brilliant.

Well, Well! I can breathe a sigh of relief on 12/10/08. Finally a day I can go about my business and not be offended by the blatant behavior and “sensitivities” of this group of deviants in the workplace.

Halleluiah! A day when the work place will be free of this visually and auditory offensive population; thus, removing – if only for one day- the eggshells upon which one must walk so as not to have the screaming, tantrums of the overly dramatic/”sensitive” thrust upon the work places.

Please, PLEASE!! Continue your efforts, organize, boycott, set up your own land, with laws and culture to your liking. Let me and the majority have some peace! Even if it is only for one day.

Nice... now everyone thats straight that just happens to not show up in your life that day... is gay too! Brilliant idea.....

I am very selctively bi, so I will take just a half the day off! Maybe I will call up my gf and discuss the issue in private...

National strike for gay rights, count me in!

If we turn out in numbers like we did this Saturday, we will make an enormous impact.

We should use that day to show up at our state capitals.

I think this would be hilarious if some random straight person called out that day completely oblivious that the day was supposed to happen and was actually sick. And then subsequently was fires among other gays in the company who didn't show up and just because you call out doesn't give you a real excuse, you really might lose your job. This is just stupid. The world is no better or worse with out gays, they're just those..wierd people the most people try to avoid, yet accept. Fuck this bullshit. I'm buying twice as much shit that day.

Can we join in even if we aren't gay?

This is a brilliant approach.

In the middle of the Advent/Christmas Season.

Excellent way of dissing Christians:(

Exercise your right to Freedom of Speech while we got the right!

I am a very comfortable heterosexual man and I say each person has the right speak up for themselves and make changes that brings equality to every living human being!

Live Learn Love, Understand Grow Evolve, Create Greatness and give it away... A.R.E. U? Awakening Revolution Evolution (Understanding) Awaken your Principle of Power within. Viva the Revolution!!!

Oh dang. This is much more powerful than the silence.

That sounds awesome. I spend most days inside though, anyways.

actions speak louder than words.

May I humbly suggest your fight the "H8" with patient, scientific explanation and remove sexual pride from the public forum in the future.

I find people wearing "sex" on their sleeve offensive, the same way I would find it offensive if anyone else walks up to me and starts discussing their sex life.

For the record, just remember you are opening the door to mass anarchy and the right to marry multiple people, sheep, and inanimate objects as well.
