Following up on Friday’s entry about a gay couple who was kicked out of the Rite Aid at 13th and U Streets NW, the New Gay is organizing a hug-in set to take place at the store tomorrow night at 7 p.m., just before the annual 17th Street High Heel Race. If you plan to go, be sure to pledge your attendance via evite.
The New Gay asks two things for everyone participating in the hug-in. First, when you get to the evite, be sure to click on the link that says “Click here if you are not: your_email_address_here@thenewgay.net” (You may need to click the “Change Your Reply” button first.) and enter your name and email address. Second, don’t tip off Rite Aid about the event. If you’re worried about going solo, hug-in organizers can pair you up with someone.
A pre-hug-in happy hour is also planned for 6 p.m. at nearby Nellie’s Sports Bar.
