San Francisco (AP) -- A daylong work stoppage during which employees were encouraged to "call in gay" to express support for same-sex marriage drew spotty participation nationwide Wednesday, with some gay rights activists praising the concept but questioning its effect.
In San Francisco's gay Castro district, residents and merchants said they endorsed the message behind "Day Without a Gay" but didn't think a work stoppage was practical given the poor economy and the strike's organization.
"If we are going to make a huge impact and not be laughed at, then we have to take the time and make the time to communicate with all the parties. We could have shut down a lot of the hotels," said David Lang, a San Francisco gymnastics coach. "In theory it's a great idea, but it's being done wrong and now that it's been done wrong, I don't think it will be done again."
The protest, which a gay couple from West Hollywood organized through the Internet, was designed to demonstrate the economic clout of same-sex marriage supporters following the passage of voter-approved gay marriage bans in California, Arizona and Florida last month.

Everyone was taken aback, but you can't argue with empirical evidence like this.
I even dug up an old "ELIMINATE THE HATE" Rainbow button that some hippie lost, stuck it on his desk I did.

Gee, I wonder if they would consider a decade without gays.
I’d be all for it.
“I even dug up an old “ELIMINATE THE HATE” Rainbow button”
Just had one laying around eh?
I asked someone that I know who is gay about calling out today and she told me she had too much work to do.
...oh brother!...queers are so full of themselves(pun intended)....did they really think anybody would care whether they went to work or not?....those self-important jerks need to just shut up and get over themselves....everybody is sick of them.
I’d think hetero guys with Asian flu and worse would have been wheeled in to work on gurneys today to avoid being out.
But i made a quick banking stop today, and to my surprise,
the bank officer i wanted to see had called in “sick as a dog”. I asked if it was part of the call in gay day, and his co-worker looked stunned- I dont think he was aware of it.
I know the “sick” bank worker was engaged and his fiance broke it off with him. He was not happy when he told me about it. maybe he really was sick...
Howz’ about a “Blood Supply Without Gay’s AIDS Contributions Day”?
If they and the dirty needle crowd wouldn’t have infected our blood supply, we’d have a clean supply of blood and the poor kids and hemophiliacs who need blood wouldn’t have gotten infected.
I know the “sick” bank worker was engaged and his fiance broke it off with him. He was not happy when he told me about it. maybe he really was sick...Or maybe she found out about his gayness.
Paging SAG....
Boss, Im calling off work today. I’ll be sodomizing my partner for the rest of the afternoon. Smelling and being near another guy’s butt has to make you a little bit angry.
Don’t stop there.....for their next jaunt into activism, how about a YEAR WITHOUT A QUEER?
Umm, maybe there aren’t as many of them as they would like us to believe?
What a good day to tell your boss that your employment in the organization is really not needed....
Or maybe there are not nearly as many gays as we are led to believe.
I think, deep down, they’re sick of themselves personally.
yup... don't know a single person that wouldn't of gone to work looking like death warmed over not to be linked to the FDRQ.
“I think, deep down, they’re sick of themselves personally.”
....yep....worn out from all that self-absorbsion
prolly none, specially not the FDRQ
