I do, but their web site fails to function. I tried to join and it sits there and giggles at me. It seems to have accepted my email address, but refuses to let me log in or anything like that.

It tells me:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /upgrade/ on this server.

It seems someone didn't give enough of a damn to make an operational website.

... but presently in "maintenance" mode with a holding-page in place, indicating further announcements will be made in the near future at facebook.com and twitter.com.

the correct link to the web-site is as follows:

Gay rights video with Paquin causes site to crash


(New York) A gay rights campaign that features a declaration of bisexuality by Anna Paquin has received so much traffic that its Web site crashed.The campaign was launched Thursday by Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund. The Web-based initiative hopes to educate for “the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.”

The campaign drew particular interest because the video features Paquin, the 27-year-old star of HBO’s “True Blood,” declaring she’s bisexual.

The Web site, wegiveadamn.org, said Friday that it was “overwhelmed” by the “enormous traffic.” Additional servers have been added.

The video also includes appearances by Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Mraz, Cynthia Nixon and others.
The "Web-site" is now fully functional ...  [message #61869 is a reply to message #61738] Fri, 09 April 2010 06:53 Go to previous message

... and "Open For Business".

Go Here:

http://www.wegiveadamn.org/

and be sure to join.

Although up front it appears to be limited to U.S. registration, simply imput your First-name where requested, and your "Local" or Regional Postal or Zip-code, the following screen allows further cusonization of your Registration, including your country of origin and so forth. Remember to "click" the "Give A Damn" button at the lower right when finished. You will then have to "click" the site logo at the upper-left to get out of the Registration process (they still have some work to do here I'm thinking), but you'll find it kind of nifty how the web-sitet rewards you after you're all finished and have returned to the home page.
