As part of the grassroots effort to bring attention to the fight for gay marriage, and in support of the protest against the passing of Prop 8 in California, Wednesday December 10 is declared "Day Without Gay Day". On that day gay persons are asked to call in sick from work in protest of not only the passing of Prop 8, but also in support of other issues facing the GLBT community in Florida, Arizona and Arkansas. The GLBT community is also asked NOT to spend money either on this day to maximize the impact of their absence.
Coincidentally, this event is being held on the day declared by the United Nations as Human Rights Day. Gays are encouraged that on their 'day of protest' they donate their time towards causes listed by the UN.

This is a site dedicated to the thoughts, comments, views and opinions of a transplanted Jamaican who - through the love, support and toleration of his family - makes his opinions known. Filters on written content may - or may not - be applied, depending on the side of the bed one gets up from, the impact of dreams the nights before, and so forth. CAUTION: A bizarre mix of Jamaican, British, American and LGBT humor is found throughout this blog.
