DESCRIPTION:Civil Gratitude     We hereby call for all LGBTQ Persons and their 
 Supporters to take off April 1st 2004 and go to the park nearest to City 
 Hall for a ‘Thank You’ Party to thank all the Cities that have 
 recognized our Right To Same-Sex Marriage!     We realize that most people 
 will not be able to take the whole day off from work, so we ask that you 
 take a 2-hour lunch from 11am to 1pm instead. That gives 30 mins to get to 
 the party with your own boxed lunch-n-drink, an hour to celebrate, and 30 
 mins to get back to work. And the people who can take off more time are 
 requested to show up early to help set up or to stay late to help pick up 
 the trash, (no gratitude in leaving trash everywhere.)     This is a 
 Multi-City Event being planed to happen on the same day in San Francisco, 
 Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Boston, New York, and Washington D.C. For 
 those people in other Cities who wish to show solidarity but there is no 
 event organized in your city that you go to your own City Hall for an 
 ‘Extended Lunch’ on the steps, or to the nearest park to City Hall.     
 What better way to show the Nation just how Decent and Normal we are than 
 to have a party Specifically to show our Gratitude? We could not have come 
 this far without them, and they deserve to be thanked for their efforts. 
 Instead of Society seeing us as different we have a chance here to show 
 ourselves as we truly are - just people, no different than anybody else, 
 who recognize the value of the Civil Rights that we have thus far attained. 
     There is still a long road ahead of us, and we are up to the task, but 
 we deserve a short break now to enjoy what progress we have made thus far. 
 After all, what good is getting our Civil Rights unless we have a chance to 
 enjoy having them? Why should people be motivated to help us unless we 
 properly thank them for their efforts? We are Fighting the Right Fight, the 
 Good Fight, a Fight we shouldn’t have to Fight, and we are going to Fight 
 Fair. For a Victory Won Fairly Is Sweeter Than One By Dishonesty.     \n
