The Right-wingers aren’t the only ones who have teabagging on the mind.
Join The Impact has organized their own Boston Tea Party to protest the ongoing tax discrimination against gays:
Join us on April 15th as we throw symbolic federal tax forms into Boston Harbor, in a lively 21st century recreation of a seminal 18th century blow for freedom and equality. History will come alive that Wednesday at 5:30 on Long Wharf, near the Aquarium T-stop. Present-day patriots are encouraged to attend and wear colonial period costume if so inclined to make a statement against antiquated social policy.
And, now, the gay Boston Tea Party has blossomed into a day of national protest.
As LGBT Americans, we work hard, take care of our families, and pay our taxes every year. Yet, our families are not included in the very policies we help fund. Our loved ones are treated like legal strangers and denied the economic protections given to our heterosexual counterparts.
It is time to take a stand. This April 15th, we will rally at post offices across the nation. All the materials you need to host your own event are on this website. Sign up today. We can change this world.
Everything you need to know to join in either in Boston or at a local post office can be found on the Join The Impact website.
And if this ain’t your thing, and you’re in New York City, you can join in the Boycott Jamaica protest at the Stonewall Inn, which is also tomorrow. Bring your rum!
And your teabags . . . we’ll know how to use them a whole lot better than the Conservatives.
