More Actions From QUEER SOS!

QUEER SOS!, the group responsible for the Friday rush-hour "die-in" at Grand Central Station, has something more to say. I was able to speak with QUEER SOS! spokesperson Iana Di Bona about the die-in, and she has this to say about Friday evening's action:"Bravo to all those who participated. Veterans of the movement lay with the next generation of activists, a man in a wheelchair leaned back in his chair and a mother held her baby on the floor.  It was powerful, moving, EXTRAORDINARY! It is this kind of courage and conviction that shall see us through. We must DEMAND our civil rights! Stand up, lie down, whatever! ACTION! ACTION! ACTION! I hope to see them all at the next action and planning their own."The group is planning more direct actions in New York as they call for a filing of the American Equality Bill.Join the "SLEEP-On-SIDEWALK" at Camp Gillibrand - Monday Night, National Coming Out Day (Night)!(NYC Grand Central DIE-IN Organizers Begin All Night Vigil for the American Equality Bill)(Oct 11, 2010)  Monday night, on National Coming Out Day, NYC activists will "Sleep-On-Sidewalk" as part of their 2 week-long-and-counting QUEER SOS! vigil to demand Equal Civil Rights Now!Last Friday, SOS! activists also staged the NYC Grand Central "Homophobia Kills Die-In" at which 300 strangers joined in defiance of police to die-in all over the station, honor our dead (loudly), and demand "CIVIL RIGHTS NOW!"
