misstiaUh, because it was the weekend I don't do anything besides cross stitch or work out in the yard it seems and I'm actually sick--some sort of virus? so I can't work out in the yard so all I can do is cross stitch and go stir crazy(ier), I got the 'hat' down from the window sill and pulled out weekend events and set our calendar for the next three months. One day events can ALWAYS be added and actually I'd appreciate more ideas for weekend and one day events!! Contest themes for the next three months were voted on by y'all. We need more weekend event ideas please!!!
Weekend Events are always Friday thru Sunday unless otherwise denoted!

One Day Event, Thursday, July 4th, Patriotic USA Ads: Um, I hope self explanatory?

Weekend Event 12-14 Stripes: Ads that contain a striped pattern in them

Weekend Event 26-28 Letter E: Ads featuring the letter E
August

* Gay Equality Day note: I think this is important to have once a month with the ever increasing laws against gays in Russia (and LJ is owned by a Russian company and the site goes down when there are huge protests). Not to mention that world wide gays are persecuted and even killed for just being who they are. Even in the states, as with the recent hate crime murder of a gay man in NYC. This isn't political, this is a human right's issue. And I hope I continue to be the only one (well I know one other member who was targeted, though not directly) who is harassed about this. I am on troll patrol, there is zero tolerance for intolerance (though the Russians pointed out I wasn't allowing free speech, but hate speech is NOT free speech as far as I am concerned) and if any member is harassed or threatened, please let me know! I have a friend who also can translate Russian--much better than google translate! :) If you are a regular, you can contact me for my phone number even. I want everyone to feel 'safe' here!
Oh and one other note, I got a complaint that I only seem to defend gay people. That's not true. I once defended a Christian who was attacked for zero reason here because it was Easter time (this was years ago) and they had an icon with Jesus on a cross and someone attacked them for that. It was horrible and WRONG. I would defend anyone being attacked here regardless of faith, color, sex, etc. Most of the problems we have here though are, unfortunately, homophobic in nature. Which further buttresses my rationale for gay equality day!
