Day Without A Gay is this Wednesday, December 10th. The national “job” boycott by gay marriage supporters in part of a reaction to the Prop 8 passage in California. The pledge: Call in Gay, take a sick day, a personal off day from your job and work for the cause instead. While it’s a great idea in theory, many aren’t buying it. It’s a tough sell even within the gay community.
When I first heard of this I was all over it, thinking, “Wow, what a great idea!” But then it hit me. Calling into work because you are gay? Taking a sick day? Come, don’t we have it bad enough? This has the makings of making the gay community the laughing stock of America because half the country already thinks we’re sick. In their minds this just might confirm it.
That aside, not many can afford to do this during these economic times. And what about gay businesses? They would totally have to shut down. I just don’t see that happening. For those who are on board with this — I salute you, really I do. But me, I’m out on this one. So, the big question is Day Without A Gay stupid or stupendous? Your thoughts….?
