San Francisco (AP) -- A daylong work stoppage during which employees were encouraged to "call in gay" to express support for same-sex marriage drew spotty participation nationwide Wednesday, with some gay rights activists praising the concept but questioning its effect. In San Francisco's gay Castro district, residents and merchants said they endorsed the message behind "Day Without a Gay" but didn't think a work stoppage was practical given the poor economy and the strike's organization. "If we are going to make a huge impact and not be laughed at, then we have to take the time and make the time...

First of all, I'm not sure in which forum to post this. I do not keep up with all the bills passed in the California State Legislature. But this just came in my email, so I checked it out. Dear Friends: This is an issue that is pretty much going under the radar, and I think we all need to make this telephone call. This is real. I just called. It took less than 30 seconds. It is just a recording and pressing 2 to say NO. Please read it!!! AB 2567 has passed the California Assembly and the Senate...

Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem have found common ground in their fierce opposition to a gay rights rally due to be held in the city this week. Ultra-orthodox Jews burn rubbish yesterday during a protest against the rally in Jerusalem in support of homosexuals’ rights Leaders from both faiths have united to denounce the parade, which has prompted nights of street protest by ultra-orthodox Jews, who regard homosexuality as an "abomination", and death threats against those taking part. After Israeli police found and defused a bomb bearing the message "sodomites out", orders were given for 12,000 officers to deploy across...

Letter: 'Gay Day' not for 'the public' Wednesday, December 28, 2005 A few days before Newton North's all-day "Gay Day" assembly, a parent called and asked me to attend it for him because he had to work. I'd been to several over the past few years, when my own children were students. (It was on Dec. 7 - they had Gay Day instead of Pearl Harbor Day.) I called the superintendent's office and was told that this year "the public" was not allowed. Taxpayers in Newton who aren't Newton North parents have been to assemblies there in the past without...

This week, many an unsuspecting American family will travel to Walt Disney World, where they will find themselves at the epicenter of a recurring cultural earthquake. There, at America's favorite family destination, hordes of homosexuals will congregate at Pleasure Island for an annual exercise in societal entropy. "Gay Days at Disney" they call it -- though it is anything but. "Gay" in the current vernacular is, of course, the term used by the fashionably PC to describe homosexuals. In dictionaries just a couple of decades ago, however, this same adjective meant "happy" or "a state of high spirits." A century...

Year In Review: Entertainment Industry (Originally published on May 25, 2004) A Christian activist group has developed a three-point strategy to warn unsuspecting families coming to Orlando, Florida, about the very family-unfriendly homosexual pride festival known as "Gay Days at Walt Disney World." The Christian Action Network (CAN) is engaging in an all-out effort to inform families, school groups, and others of what they can expect from the homosexual event long before they enter the so-called Magic Kingdom. The group plans to use literature, road signs, and even a mobile advertisement to get the word out about the offensive and...

Despite being kicked out of last year's inaugural event, Christian activists plan to protest today's "Gay Community Day" hosted by the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team. Monday's game in Philadelphia against the Colorado Rockies will feature the Phillies' twelve-game winner Eric Roberts on the mound. It will also feature special recognition of members of the local "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered" (LBGT) community. The second annual "Gay Community day" at the Phillies' stadium is being promoted by the Gay & Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia (GALLOP) and the Philadelphia chapter of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA). Before...

(AgapePress) - Four Christians were recently kicked out of Veterans Stadium during the Philadelphia Phillies' "Gay Community Day."Last Tuesday, Michael Marcavage and three friends brought a banner to the ballpark that read "Homosexuality is sin, Christ can set you free."

PHILADELPHIA - OK, so when the Phillie Phanatic bumbled into section 508, a woman threw a rainbow flag onto the fuzzy, green mascot. At that moment, a guy wondered aloud: "Maybe the Phanatic's gay." Hmmm. Eyebrows arched. It seemed like a typical night at Veterans Stadium. But something was oh so different. Some called last night's Phillies game historic. Some ignored it. Some embraced it. Some scoffed. The Phillies hosted a franchise first - Gay Community Night. Nearly 800 spectators crowded into eight upper-deck sections designated for gay and lesbian groups along the first-base line. The rainbow colors - a...

A family-values group has come out in opposition to the Philadelphia Phillies' first "Gay Community Day" planned for the baseball team's game Tuesday at Veterans Stadium. "Families will take their children to Tuesday's baseball game for a good time, but instead they will be confronted with a 'Gay Community Day.' What type message is this giving the children attending?" asked Diane Gramley, director of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, in a statement. "Those who engage in homosexual activity – because this is what really defines a homosexual – are using this in-your-face method to further seek acceptance of their...

Anybody else watching O'Reilly tonight? I swear his last guest (someone called Moyer) must be a reader of Al Gore At The Movies reviews. Why? Because in Al Gore's REVIEW of Pirates Of The Caribbean , he went into a rant about how Disney World should warn families when they have Gay Day there so the children won't be exposed to some very sickening sights.

The trickle of red-shirted Disney enthusiasts first appeared in the parking lot, more than a mile by monorail or ferryboat from their intended destination. By journey's end, just inside the gates of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, the trickle became a sea of red. The throng of people in matching ensembles, most of whom had never met, was more than a coincidence. Saturday was the annual "Gay Day" at Disney, attracting several thousand gays and lesbians whose choice of hue allowed them to share the experience together. "You feel comfortable holding hands," Floridian Bernadette Comstock said of the atmosphere at...

(AgapePress) - A homosexual activist group is urging junior high, high school, and college students across the country to take part in its annual "Day of Silence" event. The project is coordinated by a radical group called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and is designed to protest what it describes as "anti-lesbian gay bisexual transgender abuse and discrimination." Earlier this month, Democratic Congressman Eliot Engel of New York called on Congress to recognize the efforts of those who are organizing and participating in the event. It was the second year in a row that Engel had introduced...

Eric Hoag announced a "stealth" or, covert, "Day of Silence" being offered in some of the Sacramento schools today (Elk Grove was mentioned). He even had a copy of another school which lent its' letterhead to the event soliciting support from the community.A caller to the show mentioned that an unnamed Democrat from California stood up during the 1-minute openings of the U.S. House "seeking bi-partisan" support for this event in the California schools. Hoag was utterly besides himself at this flagrant attempt by the schools to silence kids who opposed this lifestyle.He is recommending that parents sue the school...
