This is fantastic!! Good job!!! May I ask how you got your permit [assuming you had one]? My brother is interested in organizing a Century protest in Sacramento, CA.

I wasn't involved in the organization of this event, but you could contact the folks at the Gay Liberation Network here in Chicago or Join The Impact (just google them I can't put URL's here) they should be able to help you get started.

Great video! Did you get those mittens at QVC?? LOL Always keep the fingers at the ready! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

[WhatsABoyToDo]

Hey Steampiper - I actually got them at the Red Dot Boutique!

I did have a great Thanksgiving, hope you did as well.

As a side note, Century Theatres was fully independent until 2006, when Cinemark bought it.

@titaneagle37 That's sort of silly. It's no skin off your ass if the gays get married. Then again---why the hell anyone would want to get married is beyond me.

Dude it's all I could do. Why is it so hard for you to understand that? I have to pay my own way and its the closet job for me. So lay off.

[ihakdursn]

really? you worked there to put yourself through college? and you think they pay a lot? unless there's nowhere else to work, you need to broaden your horizons.

[BestTits]

Who cares people have a difference of opinion, I am bi and I think prop 8 is awesome. Who wants to be married? Do something more productive with your time.

[PAELofDI]

I used to work there and if those gay cats got you fired it would be the best thing to ever happen to you...

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

My family and friends are going to TOTALLY support Century & Cinemark for all our movie watching needs! Got AIDS?

[Milla13]

You know what makes me really pissed off about this. I work at a Cinemark to put myself through school...and if enough people actually boycotted the theaters I wouldn't have a job...at least not with the kind of pay I need. You need to protest against the real enemy and not innocent workers like myself. I support your cause and everything though. It was a dirty thing to do, but come on.

[titaneagle37]

lol. I'm totally going to donate more money to the pro-8 side for the court battle now and my friends and I are going to search out Century for our film needs. Thanks for the info!
