WHAT IS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY?
On December 20th, we ask that you join us again for a nation-wide demonstration that will make an impact on the private sector. Candlelight vigils will be held at commercial centers in cities across the country in vigil for the rights of 18,000 same-sex couples who married and look forward to the day when those rights are available again - for EVERYONE. <<Find a LUTN event in your city>>

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please take to your local commercial district -- be it a shopping mall, outdoor financial center, you name it. Check your city page for the time and location of your event.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • Dress alike. Wear the same t-shirts or signs pinned to your coats. You can make or buy a "2nd Class Citizen" t-shirt, but the message is optional. Learn more about why we suggest "2nd Class Citizen."
  • This will be the culmination of our National Food Drive for Equality

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bear signs. Instead, we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects. Bring candles (battery powered if you'll be huddling inside).
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.

We kept saying that the incoming snowstorm would not stop the shoppers, therefore would not stop us. However, I arrived just after 4pm and the park was dead? I ask again, where is everyone??

After waiting around for a bit, I walked down to Westlake Center to find similar results: Nobody there for the vigil.

I'm very much upset that it didn't come together and quite confused as to why so many said they'd be there and never showed up. It's disheartening.

Sorry, I will never keep silent for your organization or any other. I therefore will not participate in your demonstration. When you act like sheeple, the religious right hate mongers will have even less respect for you than they do now. This is one Viet Nam vet who never takes any disrespect from anyone for any reason.

Be proud, walk tall, speak out!

I agree with both sides of the peaceful non-peaceful stands, it's all in the timing. There is only two results when a majority subjugate a minority: one, the minority is exterminated, the other, they receive equality. There is no in between, just time. Do you think the violence would have ever ended in S.Africa if the blacks had not been given equality? The religious extremist are asking for a never ending war, even if they exterminate us, in one generation we will be back. ...unless they find a way to abort gay embryos. We need to use peace, like tonight, but one day, violence might have it's place.
