Gus In The Real Life

So a day without the gays?, I see a day where Broadway is not going to open, half of Hollywood will be in their homes and San Francisco will be paralyzed; is hard to think that with all the civil improvements we have, today we have citizen treated by as a third class citizens just because their sexual orientation, is amazing to think that America one of the most avant-garde countries in the world (after Japan) it’s still one of the countries with more hate crimes to people who love different than the rest of the population, is incredible to think that a society with so many social developments it’ still so backward with different approaches about how individuals should be.

On December 10 of 2008, the International Rights Day, it’s the date marked by several Human Right Organizations to fight against the prejudice of proposition 8, by asking LGBT people to not go to work and donate their time to the initiative; I think not going to work it can be risky to many people, not because of discrimination but rather due civil disobedience, since many companies are gay friendly and they will not fire their employees due their sexual orientation but rather of not going to work because people can use this cause to take the day off and do something else.

A day without the gays?, probably I will see many business close in Ybor City, since the old district have most of its business run by the Gay and Lesbian Community here in Tampa Bay, but I am only speculating and I guess we have to wait to see what happens.
