Today was what? Sorry, missed it - didn’t even notice it.
So, apparently today was supposed to be a day without a gay? WTF? I guess if you’re gay you were supposed to “call in gay” today in opposition of Prop 8 out in California. That’s pretty freakin’ funny if you ask me. I can tell you, none of the gays in my organization called off today. In fact, of all the ones who are openly gay and we know who they are - they were all at work today.
I guess there is a lot of support for the opposition of Prop 8 in the gay community isn’t there? I found this:
Day Without A Gay participation spotty
Seems like it didn’t go over well at all. Seriously, who’s the idiot that even thought of this? There are many reasons that a person can take a day off work that would be paid for - but - being gay is not one of them. I’m sure there would have been quite a few individuals that would have been counseled by their employers or would have been fired if they actually did that. I guess when it comes down to it, especially in these hard economic times - even the gay community is choosing the mighty dollar over the gay rights issue.
If anything - what this now has done is for those people who legitimately called off today there will be suspicion as to whether or not they are gay. Hmmm?
I thought this was a dumb idea. And yeah, i support Prop. 8. Got nothing against gays personally, just don’t believe in gay marriage. Civil unions are better.
I think anytime you try to directly take money out of people’s pockets you’re probably not going to get a lot of cooperation. Unless if your name rhymes with Osama.
I think it all started with a Facebook group since the HRC hasn’t even mentioned it.
