  The lawyer, Roy Den Hollander had contended that New York City nightclubs such as Copacabana Nightclub, China Club, Lotus, Sol, Jane Doe promoters and A.E.R Lounge discriminated against men on "Ladies' Nights."

December 10th- December 10th is "Call In To Gay Day", which is essentially a day to call off from work to show support for the legalization of gay marriage after Prop 8. In the these hard economic times, you may not be able to call in from work, but if you are able to, here are a few things you could do to show support:

1)spend the day volunteering to advance equal rights for all.

2)Contact your government representatives and ask them to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would protect lesbian and gay workers.

3)Just have yourself a Gay Ol' Day!

 ~History: Gay rights activists are encouraging gay Americans to "call in gay" today -- skipping work to demonstrate the importance of gays in the workplace.Day Without A Gay, as it is being called, one of several grass-roots activities -- boycotts to marches -- that have sprung up in California and across the U.S. in the aftermath of passage of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California((Source)
