On December 10, International Human Rights Day, the gay community and its allies will take a historic stance against hatred by donating love to a variety of different causes in Day Without A Gay, a nationwide strike through an economic boycott and doing volunteer work, rather than civil disobedience or other tactics.

Conceived by Sean Hetherington of West Hollywood, the day of protest is modeled after A Day Without Immigrants, which took place on May 1, 2006.

Individuals participating can call in sick and donate their time to a cause and buy nothing that day to show again how important the LGBT community is to this country. The organizers have FAQs here. And their Facebook event listing is here.
