On Wednesday, October 29 bloggers will unite in support of marriage equality for same-sex couples and against California’s Proposition 8.
The Write to Marry Day campaign is an effort to shore up support and show the power of politics amidst the blogosphere. All bloggers are encouraged to write about why they support marriage equality, why they are against the marriage amendments, and share what they have done or intend to do to fight the propositions, such as 8 in California and others.
To participate, post on your own blog against Prop 8 on or before October 29, 2008, then submit the link to your post by clicking here. Links to your own videos on YouTube or other video sites are also accepted.
Not only that, but all participants who leave a valid e-mail address will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

Blog Action Day: Queer Poverty
Today is Blog Action Day and the topic is poverty. There isnt much talk about poverty and economic crisis in the LGBT community. There exists many people who suffer with terrible financial problems and many youth who are left homeless. Discimination and lack of opportunity because of sexual orientation and gender identity is unacceptable.
So in honor of the day and the topic at hand I'd like to highlight an organization doing great work in this arena. Queers for Economic Justice. Find out how you can get involved in promoting economic justice.
Tips for helping out underprivileged queers:
1. Donate to Queers for Economic Justice or a local LGBT homeless shelter.
2. "Clothes are for closets" - donate some old clothes, or sheets, to an LGBT homeless center.
3. Donate some canned goods and products to a Queer community center that serves underprivileged LGBT people.
Support any and all efforts to make a change for LGBT people who are economically challenged.

I encourage my fellow bloggers to join in Blog Action's Day effort to discuss the global poverty crisis. Of course I couldn't help but put a queer spin on it ;)
