Tomorrow Is "Day Without a Gay" - Will It Look Like This?

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Tomorrow, December 10th is national Gay Strike Day. Or "Day Without a Gay!" Or "Call in Gay!" day. Whatever you want to call it, activists are asking LGBT folks all over the U.S. to not go to work as a way to demonstrate just how great of an impact LGBT Americans have on our daily life. When our absence becomes political, it makes a statement. That's one theory, anyway.

If you can't skip a day at the office for the gay cause, Day Without a Gay has other ways you can participate and help. And here's a report from the news folks at 365Gay about the whole shebang.
