I Make Money To Give Away

linda01001 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:26:25 CST

I'm not able to volunteer so I use free GPT sites to make money online and then when the checks comes I give the money away to help others. Here's a link to a really great GPT site with a feature called CASH CLICKS, with the cash clicks feature you get $2 worth of ads every 24 hours you just click the ads and there worth .5 cents each. Do the math 5 Minutes a day equals $60.00 a month. who can say no to free money. http://www.tinyurl.com/ysuffer

Thus, even with a needed rare blood type, gaymen are prohibited from donating blood.What if a terminally ill patient is in need of a specific blood type and there is a gay man willing to be a donor?Due to the 1985 ban on gay blood donors, the patient in need would continue to wait for another suitable match, risking death. Unfortunately, the patient is not informed if a gay donor has been found and does not have the opportunity to decide if they are willing to accept the health risk. Is the ban based on medical fact or homophobia? The Case Against: Banning Gay Donors is Prejudice!Gay advocate Peter Tatchell states that the ban on gay blood donors "is based on the assumption that all homosexual and bisexual men are 'high risk' for HIV." and that the "policy seems to reflect homophobic prejudices, not medical facts."

The quality and timeliness ofHIV and AIDS evaluations has improved dramatically, producing results within days or even minutes. Since most blood transfusions require weeks of preparation there is ample time to re-test as a precaution. The policy also virtually ignores the health risk posed by heterosexual donors who've been exposed to HIV or AIDS. Every healthy and responsible person should give blood.

But I Can't Miss Work!

aaron007_LA — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:13:50 CST

I Can’t Call in To Work or I’ll Be FIRED!
If you live in one of the 30 states where individuals can still be fired simply for being gay or lesbian, (yes, unbelievably, there are still 30), there are plenty of ways that you can lend a hand and a voice in our fight for gay equality--without missing work. You will certainly think of other ways, too, so when you do post them on the Discussion Forum page!

Here are 4 things you can do to participate in Day Without a Gay even if you can’t miss work:

1. Spread the word.

JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
Email, phone calls, Facebook, MySpace, smoke signals—get the word out! Download the logo from our Photos page (right click and "Save" image to your computer) and paste it into your emails, or post it on your Facebook, MySpace, or website!

TELL YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
Copy and past the press release form our Media Relations page into an email or a word document and send it around to your local news media.

2. Help seek out and post volunteer oportunities in your area.

Even if you can’t take the day off from work, you can help notify others of volunteer opportunities in your area. Take a few minutes to contact ANY ORGANIZATION NEAR YOU that does nice things for other people on a non-profit basis, and see if they could use some volunteers on December 10. Then, direct them to our website and encourage them to post their opportunity for service. OR, offer to post it for them! Here are some ideas of places to start with:

Local Gay-Straight Alliance Trevor Project/Helpline SPCAs (Pet Rescues)

Local PFLAG Chapter Nursing Homes HIV/AIDS Services

Big Brothers/Big Sisters Homeless Shelters Gay & Lesbian Centers

Meals on Wheels Rehab Centers Local Schools

Local Gay-Straight Alliance	Trevor Project/Helpline	SPCAs (Pet Rescues)
Local PFLAG Chapter	Nursing Homes	HIV/AIDS Services
Big Brothers/Big Sisters	Homeless Shelters	Gay & Lesbian Centers
Meals on Wheels	Rehab Centers	Local Schools

3. Educate others about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

We’re still waiting for the Senate to pass ENDA so that it can be signed into law. Once it is, it will become illegal to discriminate against gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgendered individuals in the workplace. This is the fight for the most basic civil rights for ALL Amercians. To learn more, visit these great websites:

National Gay & Lesbian Task Force: ENDA Info

ACLU ENDA Page

National Gay & Lesbian Task Force: ENDA Info
ACLU ENDA Page

4. Contact your state representatives TODAY to voice your support for ENDA.

Contact your member of the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Contact your SENATORS.

5. Contact your state representatives TODAY to voice your opposition to prop 8

Contact your member of the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Contact your SENATORS.

We are asking folks to send emails to the legislature in support of the resolutions to make it the official policy of the state that Prop 8 is invalid. www.eqca.org
