Have you seen this latest grass-roots effort to protest against California’s decision to repeal the legitimacy of the proposition in favor of gay marriage? Today is an unofficial ‘call in gay day’, kind of the reverse of a sit-in, more like a sit-out.
It’s where they are trying to make a statement that if everyone that was gay didn’t spend any money the economy would suffer, or to show how vital gay and lesbians are to commerce and business, basically to make people think about it what the world would be like without the gay and lesbian community. So not to stereotype, but I would imagine that San Francisco was pretty quiet today.
I really don’t have much of an opinion on this one. I’ve got a lot of gay and lesbian friends and don’t care if they get married or not, I say why shouldn’t they suffer through a divorce as much as the rest of us?
The whole funny thought of mine today was, what if there was some super macho hetero-homophobic guy that got food poisoning or the flu and had to call in sick today? Wouldn’t that be hilarious – then he goes back to work tomorrow and is like, hey I was really sick. Yeah, right buddy, hey it’s OK if you’re a closet homosexual, whatever floats your boat…
