Anti Gay Blacklist
Speaking of voting with your dollars, be sure to check out the local businesses and individuals who contributed to pass California Prop 8 (boo!) on the Anti-Gay Vegas Blacklist. Local LGBT activists have generously compiled the list for you. (Thanks Diana!) And … You can make the choice to shop elsewhere and support local businesses…
