International Human Rights Day is today - December 10 - and 60 years after the United Nations' Commission on Human Rights passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights there is still much to celebrate and work for. All across the country LGBT people and allies will be participating in the "Day Without A Gay" protest.

Locally, the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival and Center Advocates are hosting a lively cocktail hour of hors d’oeuvres and spirits at The Twisted Fork from 5:30-6:30 tonight followed by a screening of Gus Van Sant's powerful biopic MILK at the Oriental Theater. There are still tickets available for this event and can be purchased through the Peck School of the Arts Box Office by calling 414-229-4308 between the hours of 10AM-5PM. Tickets can also be purchased in person at The Twisted Fork.

Through the generous support of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Johnson & Pabst LGBT Humanity Fund all contributions will be matched up to a total of $10,000. That's a great way to support two incredible organizations and share an incredible evening of entertainment with friends and family.
