Gays, lesbians, and straight allies plan to call in “gay” to volunteer within their local LGBT communities on December 10, 2008 to protest passage of anti-gay constitutional amendments in Arizona, Florida, and California. Wherever possible, gay Americans and allies plan to volunteer for local gay and civil rights organizations across the country through a brand new national database at www.daywithoutagay.wetpaint.com. In addition, a national one day boycott of anti-gay companies will be in effect throughout December 10, 2008.

Every day since Election Day, thousands have protested up and down streets in cities across California, including in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento. A national, grassroots coalition of LGBT activists have followed in their footsteps. Now gay citizens and their allies are teaming up to show America and the world the compassion, the love, and the positive spirit of the gay community through service.

On December 10, 2008 the gay community along with forward-thinking companies will take a historic stance against hatred by donating their time to a variety of different causes in order to raise public awareness of the need for LGBT equality in marriage and in other civil rights.

To search or post a volunteer opportunity, visit http://daywithoutagay.org/ and join the more than 100,000 others who have already posted, joined, or visited the site to make a change in their community.
