Day without Gays

Last Wednesday was "Day Without Gays" a symbolic nationwide protest where GLBT people take the day off work in protest against prop 8. Bill, Paul, Jay and I all took the day off and went up to the cities. We started by going to Ikea because Paul wanted to find a matching desk for one he already had. Paul and Bill both found some stuff that we dumped in Paul's vehicle before we all ran across the street to the Mall of America. We wandered around a little bit, stopped by the Apple store and Teevana because Paul was looking for gift ideas. We also had lunch at the California Cafe.
Next we headed to uptown because we were gonna see the movie Milk. Apparently the Uptown Theater is the only place in the area showing it. We had some time to kill before the movie started, so we headed over to Dunn Brothers for a little bit first. The movie was really good, and it's encouraging to see how things have changed since the 70's. I can't remember the last time the audience applauded at the end of a movie!
The drive home afterwords was filled with meaningfull discussions about the movie, and life in general.

It's still not showing in Rochester any time soon...I'm really glad we went when we did.
