Details for KONY Letter Writing Below!

Hello humans!

As mentioned last week (of which you can read more about by clicking the above link) we will be gathering on Friday, April 20 to write letters to government officials regarding Joseph Kony and the LRA. You are also more than welcome to join us and write letters to Invisible Children, whether you agree with or are opposed to their efforts. Whichever your passion, here are the details:

When: Friday, April 20th 5pm - 8pm

Where: Postmark Cafe, 326 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY

We will provide paper and pens, and provide postage for all outgoing letters. Additionally, we know that some of you will be participating in the Day of Silence, so we will be sure to have EXTRA paper so that you can easily ask questions/interact with us if you are not using your voice boxes! We hope to see you there!

xo,

Kristin & Dannielle

Hello Internet. On April 20, 2012, Everyone Is Gay will be meeting up with as many of your pretty heads as possible in the NYC area to do a letter-writing campaign for KONY 2012. We will also be giving away a KONY 2012 t-shirt, bracelet and posters. The idea is that, we will spend 2-3 hours together to write letters to our local, state and national government leaders, asking that the US continue to help in the search for Joseph Kony. **EDIT** The flip side: Many of you disagree with the Invisible Children mission, mode of operation, and other items. In that case, come, meet us and write Invisible Children a letter. Do the needed research to put down the things you believe in, and use your voice that way. We will provide the paper, the pens, and pay for all of the postage required for all of the mailings. Stay tuned for location details! -K & D ps: our email address is info [at] everyoneisgay [dot] com, and if you have things to say to us, you can do so there. we believe in contacting government officials on issues we think are important, and that is what we are doing here. we’d appreciate the space to do so without being referred to as “ignorant white people,” and have done an immense amount of research on the movement. thank you and good day.

So I work in a democratic campaign office, I know most everyone in the office is accepting of homosexuality, but when is the right time to let them know? I would prefer it be casually because it isn't really an office memo type deal.

You know, I think it’s funny how when we grow up we’re like ‘ugh, I can’t do things like I did in high school SLASH college bc now I’m a grown up so everything is different’ WHEN REALLY, shit is kind of the same.

It’s like, you know that one guy/lady in the office who tells everyone’s business to everyone else? Of course you do, everyone knows that person. You know, the one friend you have, SANTEE, that you’re like ‘hey, yea i’m just feeling down bc TRIXIE and I broke up’ and that friend is like ‘omg lets get some pizza’ and you’re like ‘okay see you soon’ then you hang up the phone and dust your hands off bc you know that SANTEE will tell everyone that you and TRIXIE broke up and you now don’t have to go around to all your friends and tell them individually.

It’s the same as high school, you guys, there are certain bitches in our lives who just tell your business and believe-you-me that is NOT always a bad thing. These people are really good vehicles for getting shit out there when you don’t feel like sitting down and having srs convos with everyone you know. Just go up to the SANTEE of your office and be like ‘can i ask you a question’ and when she’s like ‘yea?’ and you’re like ‘i know we don’t know each other that well, which is why i’m asking, bc you seem totally cool and i wanted to know if you think it would effect anyone’s perception of me if they knew I was gay, like, do you think I should hide it or something?’ and she’ll be like ‘oh no, not at all, no one cares’ and you’ll be like ‘thanks, SANTEE, i knew you’d be the best person to ask’ and before you get halfway out of the breakroom #watercooler she’ll have already IMed half the office from her smartphone.

BOOM.

DONE.

Here’s the thing, Anon.  I support any means that you choose to declare your gaywad-ness, but in my experience the best way to tell people is to just have open and honest conversation.  It is a slightly gradual thing that will take a few weeks(ish), and then it isn’t this weird situation where people feel like you sat them down to pour your heart out, you know?

Por ejemplo #spanishtuesday, John DonkeyButt will be like, ‘My girlfriend thinks Brad Pitt is so hot, I just don’t get it.  Are you into him?’ And you will be like, ‘Nope, I’m with you.  Angelina all the way.’  Then he’ll laugh and pause and look at you and be like, ‘Wait, really?’ and you’ll be like, “Haha, yeah dude, it’s not a big deal, UNLESS YOU MAKE IT ONE’ and then look at him real angry and then when he looks worried burst out laughing and punch him in the arm.

The next day, when Susie BlueBoobs is like, ‘So, do you have a boyfriend??’ just answer honestly: ‘No, I actually date women, but they are just as big of a pain in the ass as anyone else so I am currently single and waiting for someone who isn’t a big idiot to come my way.’  Then she’ll laugh and be like, ‘Oh man, so you mean even if I give up men forever I’m still screwed?’ and you’ll get real serious and be like ‘DO YOU THINK THIS IS A CHOICE’ and she will get nervous and then you’ll burst out laughing and punch her in the arm.

What I mean to say is, little by little it will become just another part of who you are at the office, and then you’ll look back and remember when you asked Everyone Is Gay for advice and it will all seem so silly because now everyone knows and no one cares except for Susie BlueBoobs who now has a total crush on you, and then you’ll write us again for advice on dating co-workers.  

Know what I mean?
