. . . knowing the service will be slow.
And then what?
We've reacted to anti-gay ballot initiatives in Californaia [sic], Arizona Florida, and Arkansas with anger, with resolve, and with courage. NOW, it's time to show America and the world how we love.Gay people and our allies are compassionate, sensitive, caring, mobilized, and programmed for success. A day without gays would be tragic because it would be a day without love.
On December 10, 2008 the gay community will take a historic stance against hatred by donating love to a variety of different causes.
On December 10, you are encouraged not to call in sick to work. You are encouraged to call in "gay"--and donate your time to service!

Yes, because the "Day without Latinos" was so wildly successful, right?
And I'm willing to bet illegal immgrants outnumber the gay community, so how will this be effective?
It won't, and way to put out those who have SSA and need, you know, a paycheck.

It's very interesting. Last week...all of a sudden...Gay magazines have been left in our break room at work (not the porn kind...thank GOD!). So now, apparently, someone is trying to promote "gayness" in our workplace. Whatever. I think that we should stage a "Day without Heteros".
Instead of calling in "sick" we should call in "normal" and then devote our time off to various fine past-times like martinis, cigars and procreation. That'll stick it to the man, won't it?
What Peter said!
My other thoughts on this Gay Day...basically....WTF?!
So you have to be gay ito be able to love? And, therefore, God must be gay? Somebody flunked Logic 101
Peter,
Honestly? Someone is leaving gay magazines around the workplace? Huh, sounds like the creation of a hostile work environment to me, and management ought to nip that one in the bud before someone calls a lawyer.
Do they realize they are digging their own grave by being this obnoxious?
CAll in straight, everybody, call in straight. And when people object, point out that if some can call in gay, because of their sexual preference, then everybody should be able to, or it's preferential treatment.
Oh for cryin' out loud ...
I just decided that gays are egotistical, whinners that just want alot of attention--they'll do anything for attention.
LOL! Amy beat me to it. God, it was great going down to HomeDepot that morning I could get in and out of there in a flash without having to worry about hitting one of them.
But somehow I'm betting Broadway will not be "dark" that night Is that a Monday? I'm too lazy to look.
Are they so blind that they don't realize that most of us won't even notice?
Sigh....what's a lesbian, like me, to do?
or better yet, just show up to work, because you know you're going to do it anyway.
And this is what we get for opening the closet door. Sheeeeesssshhhh!
I wish I could call in sick, look when you're a parent you just can't call in the day. If a parent does work they have to reserve their sick/personal/vacation time for their children.
In Massachusetts I always wondered how same-sex marriage lobby could get so many people off from work for a week-day rally. I just can't plop all four kids in the van, drive into Boston, and rally.
Marriage is about obligations, and I guess when you don't have any you have a lot of free time.
