    • Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, meet Purple Sunday!

      Everyone knows about Black Friday - some of us may have even experienced it yesterday. Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday have popped up as supplementary shopping holidays whose names speak for themselves. 

      As an answer to all this mayhem about supporting this business and that business, a SheWired columnist has proposed “Purple Sunday,” a day when we support LGBT/inclusive and allied businesses. 

      The article linked above has a couple of ideas for ways to get started buying your holiday gifts from LGBT-friendly retailers. You can also check out HRC’s Corporate Equality Index to see which larger companies are most LGBT-friendly in terms of workplace equality. 

      Spread the word about Purple Sunday - this could be a big thing!
