Those Who Barack Obama Doesn’t Believe Should Have The Right To Marry Will Call In ‘Gay’ Tomorrow
Posted by Dirty Harry on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
No, not happy…
A Day Without A Mexican was the day I drove into Hollywood in a mere fifteen minutes — in other words: A Great Day. For weeks afterward, I changed my online name to Pancho and lobbied illegal organizers for A Year Without A Mexican.
Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to “call in gay” Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it’s wise to encourage skipping work given the nation’s economic distress.
Organizers of “Day Without a Gay” - scheduled to coincide with International Human Rights Day and modeled after similar work stoppages by Latino immigrants - also are encouraging people to perform volunteer work and refrain from spending money.
Maybe I’ll call in tomorrow, just to keep ‘em guessing.

Chris Bon 09 Dec 2008 at 11:09 am 2I doubt many people will be fired for calling in ‘Gay’ on Wednesday. No doubt there will be a number of pro-bono attorneys hunting for cases of employer discrimination. But if your employer is in financial trouble, calling in ‘Gay’ has to be on of the best ways to move your name to the top of the list of the next group of people to be let go. These people are geniuses when it comes to self-selection!

If I call in sick tomorrow will Barney Frank ask me for a date?
elizabetheon 09 Dec 2008 at 12:52 pm 6DH, I’m curious, how would “calling in” change your day? Does that mean NOT eating cookies while sitting in your couch in pajamas?

A few less rainbow-stickered Mazda Miatas and Subaru Outbacks on the 101 is always welcome.

Brandonon 09 Dec 2008 at 1:12 pm 9Can I call out sane? That appears to be the truly oppressed minority at this illustrious point in our nation’s history.
Eric Pon 09 Dec 2008 at 1:39 pm 10Amen, Ugly American, though we’ll still have to navigate around the preponderance of Obama stickers.

Buck Turgidsonon 09 Dec 2008 at 8:52 pm 12Couldn’t they have scheduled this for Friday? Hell, I’d call in gay then, too.

Does this mean that Broadway will go dark?

I’d like to see them explain THAT to their drill sergeant the next day.
Floyd R. Turboon 09 Dec 2008 at 10:07 pm 16maatkare… Thank you! I couldn’t think of any other labor -related terms that rhymed with “gay” labels… I had a “lockout” joke, but it’s a family blog mostly.

I hope you aren’t springing some lifelong secret on Mrs. Harry!
