Calling in Gay to Work

I think it is a dumb idea.  Don't get me wrong.  If it was pulled off accurately it would definitely wake up the world to how "necessary" gay people are to the business world.  BUT if we took a step back we would have to realize that it would not be proving any points about Prop 8.  This would only show the world how many gay people are out there making things happen.  It would be as if we were holding our work environments hostage in order to bring about change.  

This is one of the many ways in which gay people just don't see the bigger picture.  I can think of a plethora of things on the gay to do list that would need to happen before igniting a silent protest such as this.  

Doesn't the world already know that gay people secretly run it?  We dictate the majority of the economic flow, current fashion trends, and where the trendy neighborhoods will be.  What more is there?  

I don't see the correlation between not showing up for work and legalizing gay marriage.  We might as well rally together in DC and charge the white house like a bunch of creatures from Narnia, because that is basically how we are acting.  We are AGAIN fulfilling the role that WE have created in the world of our people being a fantastical bunch of (no pun intended) fairies.  We make quick and irrational decisions (much like our spending habits that fuel the economy) and in turn leave long lasting consequences in the wake of our hasty actions.  

In case you didn't know.  Apparently the gays of the world have secretly whispered among each other that they should call out of work today.  This would be in order to show THE WORLD how important gay people are on a day to day basis.  This "movement" would be in order to bring about change to the ongoing Prop 8 debacle.  

For me.  And you can hate if you want to.  I don't care about Prop 8.  A yes or no vote on ONE LAW does not take away from the fact that gay people can't manage to act right.  

If we had it right.  We would get what we want.  We would have a platform to argue on and we would prove our point in comparison to heterosexual marriage.  But since I don't know any gay couples that are bound by laws or personal agreements and that HONOR those vows whether they are open about it or not, then I don't see how we can say that we want to be granted ADDITIONAL rights.  

I go on these websites looking for someone to go on a date with.  I go on websites because when I go out in public I clam up and can't flirt and look around at all the handsome men and begin to judge myself.  Although we are so materialistic in person, as it turns out we are more so judgmental online.  With the click of a button we can elude a come on.  We can ignore what is right in front of us and move on to the next guy with the six pack abs.  The few guys that do email me only have pictures that showcase their private parts and I have to be honest...I don't want to go on a date with your hairy asshole.  Its disgusting.  Yet one of the many ways in which gay people need to seek out to improve their so called "quality of life" or what have you, and start acting right.  If we start from the ground up one day we will reach a point at which time it will be very appropriate that we all band together to call out of work for the day as one big giant F-U to the straighties of the world.

With the way the economy is right now.  This idea is actually awful.  It will actually affect us more negatively than it will the rest of the world, and more than likely some of us will wind up unemployed because of it.  One more notch in the belt loop that is of our irrational decision making skills.

But for now.  Let's just agree to disagree, and get rid of the online pictures of your hairy butt.
