This morning on the Stephanie Miller show they were joking about one of the anchors calling in sick. Everyone who happens to be sick today is officially under speculation for their sexual preference.
I honestly don't get this. I am all for gay marriage, but what does calling in sick to work prove. A Day without a Mexican had a message because it showed how Mexican Immigrants support our work force, but they are fighting to stay in the country. No one is suggesting that gays not be able to work in the US.
After having spent yrs in supervisory positions and needed that employee I would be greatly bugged by it! I have nothing to do w/prop 8 why make my business suffer?
I remember a lot of hispanics did this in 2004 to protest immigration reform. In Las Vegas anyone of the Casino/Hotel employees who did this and could not document thier absence was either laid off or punished on thier permanet record. I think this is good. If you want to protest like this that is fine but you better be ready for consequences b/c businesses need employees!

I'm sorry but I think that it is stupid and irresponsible. There's no reason anyone needs to lie to their boss to protest proposition 8. It's unethical and puts a bad light on people who support prop 8, and it just reinforces the thought that democrats are lazy and don't work.
If you want to take the day off to protest, at least be honest with your boss and ask for prior approval.
...and you know how liberal I am, but I think that's rude.
Re: XP: Calling in gay
Definitely a great way to protest and garner media attention for something as important as this.
But I do feel bad for any small business owners who, despite their beliefs, are being punished.
LOL I wondered why 3 people on my Facebook had that as there Status, that they had called in Gay today! HAHAHAHA
Think it would work being married with 3 kids? People change right? LOL

Equating gay with sick has an ugly history in the psych books, no? I worried about pathologizing homosexuality.
That hits a little too close to home for the people given electro shock to cure them of the "gay". Not sure about this calling in "gay" business...
