Instead of one day, make it 365.
This is the most pampered, privileged, catered-to victim group that has ever existed! They get whatever they want from politicians who are deathly afraid of the wrath of vicious militant feminazis.

So much for over-reaching by the fruitcakes.
The really good news would be knowing how many got fired for such a stupid goal.
Get over it.

Ah, these left-wing "boycotts" for special interest groups sure are working out well. I remember the last one, when they had the so-called "Day Without a Mexican" (ACTUALLY Day Without An Illegal Alien) to "protest" the government's "treatment" of "migrant workers" by staying home. Much less crowding in the streets that day and EVERYONE I passed in public spoke ENGLISH for the first time in years. And I did a wedding presentation for a nice LEGAL hispanic-American couple from Puetro Rico who booked their wedding with us that day.
Those liberals sure showed us, didn't they? First by giving us a day without illegals and now a day without radical gay activists (Gays who care more about doing their job than showcasing their sex life undoubtedly went to work). Can they make this an annual thing? And what special interest group should sit home next? I vote for "Day Without Race Baiters" next. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should stay home to show how we can't get by without the cult of victimhood.

“Call in Gay?”
I thought they said “Fall in, OK”?
I have been standing at the position of attention for over 2 days now....Man, am I embarrassed.

All of our people showed up yesterday, even those that normally miss in the middle of the week.

Or they could just spend the day forcing large objects up their butts.

It occurs to me that participation by the gay community on this was probably very very high.
And what we see is they don’t actually matter much, because there just isn’t that many of them after all....
Just a thought.

There are not as many gays in the population as the homosexual lobby wants us to think.

I’m in the restaurant industry, and most of the gay guys at our restaurant didn’t even know about it. They were busy trying to make a living.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Anyone with a grain of sense in this economy is going to be worried about losing his job. And their bosses are probably worried about surviving.
That’s all you need, if you’re running a shop or a restaurant and some of your key workers call in gay with no warning. Especially if you’ve been treating them well.

I know of a few people who, after their vacations, went back to work only to be told “you’re fired”.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
did you hear about the guy (fruitcake) in Queens who was unfortunate enough to get the crap beat (along with brain activity) out of him for walking down the street holding hands with another "male" person? Now that's what I call a "Day without a Gay"
