There are a lot of holidays during the winter months but none of them are really gay. Sure we have National Coming Out Day in October, Pride Month in June, Celebrate Bisexuality Day in September, International Drag Day in July and Fat Tuesday for the Bears, but where’s our winter holiday?
Well, we’ve devised a new a new gay holiday- Glitter Day! And no, Mariah Carey is not invited. Today, blogger Michael Lehet joins us to open early his Glitter Day presents.

Concerning the Airport Security Issue—I think that people should utilize civil disobedience. If you’re a guy–wear frilly ladie’s underwear or a cock ring; if you’re girl stuff a dildo in your pants. That will give the operators of those scanners something to think about.
I’m so excited for Glitter Day 2011 and my TSA pat down!
Yaaaaaay! Michael is one of my favourite guests. He’s fun, cute, and really positive and uplifting.
So Glitter Day will be the week after New Years? That’s the Feast of Epiphany. Good time to have the epiphany that “Oh my god I’m GAY!” and that it should be celebrated!
And UGH, TSA! I don’t mind being photographed nude (…hmm, whatever happened to those pictures my college roommate to–uh, anyway!), but add a side of cancer risk, I just might suppress my hatred of strangers touching me if this crap is still happening next time I fly. :[
I don’t think we set the actual day. I don’t want to step on anybody else’s holiday so the Three Kings Day is out and so is MLK (the 15th).
What do you think of the second or 4th Saturday in January?
Second Saturday in January is probably good. In 2011 that will make it January 8th, and 2012 (assuming we all LIVE!!!) will be January 14th, with all points in between for upcoming years. Not too much time in which to get depressed between festivities, there! 🙂
So when should we celebrate Glitter Day? The 4th Saturday in January sounds good. 🙂
I think the body scanners are not that dangerous. The radiation exposure during a commercial flight is much higher.
I think we decided the second Saturday of January, so the first Glitter Day is the 8th.
Sweet, I’ll start brainstorming some nice shiny decoration ideas. Probably ones that don’t involve a lot of actual glitter, cuz that shite gets everywhere, and not everyone likes finding it in random crevices for weeks after, for some strange reason!
8th is very good for the first Glitter Day. 🙂
Lets start a facebook group and spread the word.
Working on the Facebook group (and event page, that seems vital, too). Will message you on FB once it’s up, Andy, and anyone else who comments 🙂
Thank you for your effort. 🙂 We should have some thousand members before Christmas if all send this to our friends.

Andy dear, try going through the link in this post to join, as Facebook doesn’t seem to want me to link in messages to you!
I just created a fanpage for Glitter Day. Please join and feel free to add photos and videos. 🙂

Liked! 🙂
I want a holiday card collection to send out with the phrase “tons of fucking sequins” somewhere in the good wishes.
Oh guys, you are just too much! I have been giggling to myself all morning about ‘tons of fucking sequins’. Thanks for yet another laugh riot.
