3/11: Pink Flu Day

[Jessalynvix]

I wish I could take off work that day, unfortunately Thursday is a day I can't miss *grumbles* I'll just have to stray from my normal visit to Jamba Juice for a lunch smoothie and brown bag it instead lol

and i'll be proud to pack your lunch on that and I think we can abstain from purchasing anything that day to do our part.

Does it count if I have the day off and I wasn't going to buy anything anyway?

On a side note, I'd also like to know why only gay people get the day off. Seems kind of unfair and hypocritical to me.

On March 11th, gay and lesbian Americans
and their non-gay allies all over the country are
going to stay home from work as a show of protest and
as a signal that we will no longer tolerate treating
LGBT people as second class citizens.

I am, therefore, suggesting that we ask our local
communities (including our straight allies) to have a
"no purchase" day on 3/11/04.



P.S. It's in the original text for any who missed it on their first "read" through.

Ooooh, I rather like the idea! But that's a Thursday, and they would have a really hard time replacing me at work that day. Why couldn't it be a Monday or a Friday? I could do it those days! (I may anyway.)

The Massachusetts legislature will reconvene on
Thursday, March 11th to once again tackle the issue of
whether or not gay and lesbian Americans have the
right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Heh, I know. I just wish the 11th was a Monday or a Friday, or that they'd reconvene on another day.
