Show Me No Hate Day - tomorrow
On December 10, you are encouraged to take a "gay" day. Take the day off, call in "gay", or just close your entire company and have them come to the Tivoli Movie Theater for a day of learning about LGBT issues.
On December 10, 2008 the LGBT community and our allies will take a historic stance against hatred by stepping out of their normal routines of home, school, and work. We will come together to make a contribution to society. In St. Louis we will come together for an LGBT Community Education Day - a day for the LGBT community to learn from each other and build bridges for future action. This will be a day where we can get educated, energized, mobilized and prepared.

Panel discussions with Vital Voice Publisher Pam Schneider, State Rep. Janet Mott Oxford, Rev. Carol Trissell, Kevin Hawkins, Rabbi James Stone Goodman, Burt Coleman, and other St. Louis leaders.
Topics at this TEACH-IN include:
* Support from our religious leaders regarding marriage and gender equality
* Civil Rights issues and differences within the LGBTQA. What do you make of the LMNOP Civil Rights struggle?
* Ally support and the "Straight" piece of the puzzle. How do heterosexuals find their support most important? How do we include them?
* The legal, civic progress, and political wedge issues with marriage equality. What is the future with all these Amendments, Laws and Court cases? How do we prepare?
* Other smaller conversations may include many other topics that might come out of the conversation.
