Reminder: Queer-In Against Sit/Lie @ Sat Dec 18 12pm - 2pm (Queer Things)

more details » Queer-In Against Sit/Lie Queer-In Against Sit/Lie Join us outside Harvey Milk's former camera store at 575 Castro Street, on Saturday, December 18, from 12 noon-2pm. We will declare that the sidewalks belong to everyone and to protest Human Rights Campaign's plan to rent Harvey's store and co-opt his legacy. Sit/lie, which makes it illegal to sit or lie on sidewalks, will be selectively enforced against homeless queers in the Castro, homeless folks in the Haight and Day Laborers in the Mission. Harvey opposed the sit/lie law of the 1970s which was used to harass and arrest gay men in the Castro. It was struck down in 1979. HRC left transgender folks out of ENDA (federal gay rights bill) and generally excludes many of us from their table when decisions are made. We won't let HRC put Harvey's legacy up for sale, and we won't let the police decide who can sit on a sidewalk. Bring musical instruments; games; food to share; things to sell, give-away or barter; signs; face painting kits; fun activity to engage in; good conversation; jumping ropes, etc. Sidewalks are for everyone! Milk's legacy is not for sale or rent! When Sat Dec 18 12pm – 2pm Pacific Time Calendar Queer Things Who • larrybob@gmail.com - creator
