We Don't Have 22 million to Spend On HATE! LET US SHOW OUR GLBT LOVE

Try-Angles Holds Holiday Food Drive Written by JoSelle Vanderhooft Sunday, 30 November 2008 This holiday season, popular dance club and cozy neighborhood bar Club Try-Angles will give back to the community by hosting a food drive throughout December. “We don’t have 22 million dollars to spend on hate like some organizations do in California,” said club owner Gene Gieber, referring to the money members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints raised to pass Proposition 8, which re-banned gay marriage in California. “So let’s spend our resources on love here in Utah.” The goal of the food drive, Gieber said, is to fill the club’s patio with non-perishable food items and toiletries to donate to the Utah Food Bank and the Utah AIDS Foundation’s food bank. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 20. On that night, the club will host one of its famous Underwear Nights to commemorate the closing. Let us all nationwide show the LOVE of the GLBT Community in a silent protest. A positive way to help needy families, record homeless families, and the poor in our great country. The L.D.S. Church is famous for charity giving and social programs. This is the biggest waste of $22 million dollars, many needy families could be fed this year for that amount. I support any positive giving to charities in your own community. Toys for Tots, Big Brothers Sisters, Food Pantry, Salvation Army, and many more. I am one person but with others in the GLBT Community, we can make a difference. With my working poor domestic partner this year we were already able to donate $1300 to charities thru eBay giving works . I am the originator of the food drive in opposition to hate in Utah. Tom and Darin Do you find this valuable?
