9. And that has what to do with this being a stupid idea?
Yeah, in a failing economy with employers looking for any excuse to fire people in the name of keeping themselves afloat, "calling in gay" is a great idea.
Hey boss, I can't come in today, I'm gay.
You'll have to explain to me how someone not going to work, risking their job, or at best losing money shows support for gay rights. Without trying very hard, I can think of a dozen better ways to support gay rights/causes then this. The absurdity behind not going to work to support gay rights makes my brain bleed.
If you think a bunch of random folk calling their employers and telling them they're not coming to work today to support gay rights is going to help your agenda, you're a dishit.

25. Your the one with all the ideas. But all I keep hearing is negativity, maybe you need to get out of the post it does not sound like you have anything productive to say.

14. You're right....gay people should just stick to begging on their hands and knees for civil rights.

16. Again, explain to me how this is a good idea
How does calling in gay to your employer show support for this cause? When there are a variety of other ways to support civil rights for GLBT, why ask people to risk their livlyhoood and then criticis them for not doing it....ESPECIALLY when you said down thread you wouldn't have had the stones to do it yourself.

19. Because I don't think you should feel so comfortable preaching to a minority group about whether you think an certain action is a f'ing stupid idea.
That's why.
Let us take care of our business.
I can tell by your tone you couldn't give a **** whether anything we do succeeds or not. You simply wanted to knock something that doesn't concern you.

23. No, I just get easily annoyed by stupidity
it's a character flaw...I admit it.
You can't possibly have thought this was a good idea for supporting gay right. My tone has nothing to do with equal rights and everything to do with calling foul on a stupid idea.
Yesterday, walking to Barnes and Nobles to pick up some books, a person stopped me on the corner and asked me if I had a minute to talk about gay rights. I had a 20 minute conversation with her, dontate 10 bucks and went on my way. That girl on the coner...she's doing something for gay rights. She admited she gets crapped on pretty regularly by fundies while standing outside on a misty, cold day in D.C. That's someone doing something for the cause, Cboy. Calling in Gay is a dog and pony show that does what for equal rights for GLBT? Honestly, do you expect people to take shit like that seriously? It's not a matter of the issue, it's a matter of it being a stupid idea regardless of the issue.
More than that though, you're decrying the actions of people who didn't do something YOU ADMITED DOWN THREAD YOU WOULDN'T DO! Why the hell should anyone put their livelyhood on the line for you if you're not willing to do it?
And don't even presume to judge me on what I do and don't give a **** about. I've given both finacially and in time volonteered to support equal rights for GLBT. As a person brought up in "the gay capitol of the South," Austin, TX, I've got more than my share of gay and lesbian friends who I care very deeply about.

7. We don't even have a federal Employment Non-Descrimination Act in place.
We can be fired in many work places on any day of the week.
It's completely understandable why people didn't want to risk their jobs.
Yesterday fell on my regular day off, but there was no way I could risk calling in gay.

It was destined to fail, just like all those dumb "Not one Damn Dime Days."

I'm starting to doubt the wisdom of my having some time ago promoted the cboy4 primitive to second-tier primitivity; trust me, that was quite an elevation.
This is the same primitive who so courageously stood up to the mockery, the ridicule, the scorn, the Hate, the harassment, of the 0bamaite grazing primitive, the rich kid jgraz primitive.....but now the cboy4 primitive frankly admits that if it hadn't been his day off, he wouldn't have had the guts to call in.
I'll let this one pass--we're all fallible--but if the cboy4 primitive shows another lack of spunk, the trapdoor underneath him will probably spring, and down the cboy4 primitive will go, down into the sewer with the unterprimitiven, the faceless lynch mob, the amorphous blob, that is 99% of the inhabitants of Skins's island.

I don't get it. Is the point being gay makes one to lazy to go to work or what ?
Incidently Austin isn't the gay capital of the South,they are just a bunch of freaks n geeks. Houston is supposedly the gay friendliest city in the US of A.

The cboy4 primitive always wanted to be a fireman, over there in northern California.
Maybe he's become one by now, and can't get away with that, or maybe he's afraid to tarnish his current employment record, which might or might not hurt his chances of becoming a fireman.

Doesn't anybody else around here think it's kinda sad that people of the same gender, who so happen to fall in love, have to fight so hard for it? I'm sure I'll get a BS or 2 for this but that's okay, I'm just curious as to everyone's opinions. Taking all partisan issues and biblical references out of the mix. Love is love! It shouldn't be defined by genitalia. I do think it's kind of sad that groups are resorting to these kinds of tactics to get attention for their cause, when it really shouldn't be an issue at all.
(awaiting hateful responses) lol :)

Sorry, sir; I missed the point of your comment.
One of the cats here was trying to get into the typewriter here, and I got distracted.
This "Calling in Gay Day" was some silly notion that if all gays in America didn't show up for work, the rest of us would miss them, and hence understand how important their labor is.
One suspects it would've had about the same effect if all deaf people had called in deaf. In other words, hardly any effect at all.

I've told this story before--and so if anybody's read it, ignore its repetition--but since you're new here, madam, maybe you never read it.
Back in 2000, the gay-marriage thing was on the ballot here in Nebraska.
Nobody paid much attention to it; we have gays in Nebraska, and most gays in Nebraska are just like other Nebraskans, modest, hard-working, humble, gracious, unassuming, reticent.
In 2000, Nebraska must've been the only state to have such a referendum, because it immediately attracted the attention of professional gays in New York and San Francisco.
These non-Nebraskans decided to "teach" we Nebraskans.
If they'd stayed away, the measure wouldn't have lost by the landslide it did, or perhaps it might've even narrowly won.
But no.
Much to our startled surprise, Nebraska was invaded by hordes of professional gays from New York City and San Francisco. It was odd, because such people had never paid attention to Nebraska before, and now it seemed all gay eyes were upon us.
So they came here, hordes of them, dancing and frolicking and tiptoeing and prancing and sash-shaying and wiggling and jiggling and bouncing and bumping and humping.
We've seen odd sights here in Nebraska before, so it didn't bother us.
However.
Because of their Christmas-tree-ornament-sized earrings, their flopping nose-rings, their pointy chin-rings, their bobbling navel-rings, their tinkling bracelets, all their flashy fluorescent colors, sparkling and glittering and clinking and jingling and jangling, they created noise and color and movement unfamiliar to the cattle here.
Even the Nebraskans who've lived in Omaha all their lives know you don't spook the cattle. And Nebraska politicians respect that, too; to spook the cattle is to lose an election.
Spooked cattle are a terrible sight to see, running amok panick-stricken and bawling and crying and tromping all in their way; people get hurt, even killed, trying to reassure spooked cattle, trying to get them calmed back down.
Well, that's what happened with all these professional gays from New York City and San Francisco, running around Nebraska shimmering and glittering and flouncing and flashing; they spooked the cattle.
Better for them had they stayed home and minded their own business, while we minded ours.

Austin is known as "Moscow on the prairie" Their main newspaper The Austin American Stateman is referred to as "Pravda on the Prairie". Austin is also called the "Silicon Prairie" because of all the puter companies & Chipmakers there.

I have never been a gay advocate just a you leave me alone & I'll leave you alone type a person. The Actions & attitudes of far to many of the gay folks have got me thinking. If this is the way they act when they want something and claim they aren't out to change aythinhg how they going to act when they do get their actions & attitudes condoned by the state seal of approval.

I had a cold yesterday, I was going to call in sick, until I realized it was "Gay Day".
I took 4 Dayquils, drank 16 oz's of orange juice and drug my sick ass into work.
No freakin' WAY I was calling in on "Gay Day".
It's amazing what you can do, given the proper motivation . . . :tongue:

I don't really care. These are people who went out after Prop 8 and harassed Catholics and Mormons but left the black churches alone. They have absolutely no interest in anything but feeding their egos and "feeling special." I think instead of "gay" or lgbxytz43lxy's or whatever they call themselves they should be called "full-grown adult spoilt brats." I don't really see any love in what they do other than narcissism.
I have two "uncles" who have lived together for years and years without once ever prancing about or crashing a Mass or other religious service so I don't buy the whole "love" argument. People in love will find a way. And a way was offered but was rejected because it's all about them, not marriage or civil unions or anything else but getting attention.
I have often thought that people with real pride don't need special parades to show it off.

You'll have to explain to me how someone not going to work, risking their job, or at best losing money shows support for gay rights. Without trying very hard, I can think of a dozen better ways to support gay rights/causes then this.

I don't care at all who a person chooses to love as long as it is legal and between two consenting adults (and doesn't involve adultery). I don't care if they can get some sort of license of togetherness either. I don't think it should be some sort of constitutional amendment on marriage though. Too many really screwed up people out there to screw that up.

No one doubts that people of the same gender can love each other. They just shouldn't have sex with each other. And they shouldn't get married to each other.

I think I can help here. The pro-gay marriage folks are saying they do not have the right to marry, but that heterosexuals do have that same right.
Here's the way to look at it:
Both gays and heterosexuals have the right to marry. They both just need to marry members of the opposite sex. Neither gays nor heterosexuals have the right to marry someone of the same sex.
Voila! Everyone has the same rights.

Don't bother trying Dee. Marriage isn't a right to them.

What goes on behind between consenting adults behind closed doors is no concern of mine.
Personally I consider homosexuality sickening and refuse to accept it as "normal" behavior. But, like I said, consenting adults , closed doors no business of mine.
Let em "marry" provided there is no provision to force any entity that doesn't approve of the practice to perform the service. Call it a "civil union" or whatever title is available if "marriage" is offensive.
Much more important things to be concerned about than this.
-

That's always, sort of, been my attitude.
There is such a thing as "partnerships" in the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) Code, and course partnerships enjoy certain monetary advantages not available to two single individuals.
Let them form partnerships, and go from there.
Nothing wrong with that.
HOWEVER, it's my impression it's not so much about "marriage" as it is the destruction of people and institutions offensive to gays.
That's where I'm always coming from, in this argument; it's not so much about "marriage" as it is the destruction of people and institutions offensive to gays.

Taking all partisan issues and biblical references out of the mix.
Taking all morality out of the mix, there's all sorts of things that "shouldn't be an issue at all." Unfortuantely when you ignore the lessons of history when civilizations tossed morality (biblical references) to the wind, then you're doomed to repeat them.

Morals existed long before the bible was written. Quite frankly I'm getting tired of people saying you can't be moral without "biblical influence".

It has nothing to do with when the Bible was written, but from whom morality originated, which was from God. Morals existed in that which was spoken of God as passed down through the patriarchs before it was given in written form. I distinguish "morality" from being "good." I know a lot of "good" people who aren't "moral," but I don't know any "moral" people who aren't "good."

Speaking of "equal rights", what if a group of straight people decided to have a "straight pride" parade where they danced through the streets half naked (to fully naked) while making out, performing all manner of simulated (and real) sex acts on each other and shouting "STRAIGHT IS GREAT"? How fast would that group of straight people be taken straight to jail house?

The concerted efforts of the radical homosexuals are all about destroying normality. Nothing more and nothing less.
Decent people who are homosexual accept their lot in life and understand that they are the "exception to the rule". They have no burning desire to put an end to normality just because they do not fall into the category. They live with what they are.
With all the talk and focus on same-sexed people wanting to be told they are "married", the fact that homosexual "marriage" makes about as much sense as mandatory life preservers for dolphins is never discussed. The idea has no merit or benefit.
Homosexuality is a psychological handicap. Homosexuals must live with that handicap and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Appeasing radical homosexuals is a lot more complicated and intrusive than providing a ramp at every curb. No matter what is done in their favor, it will never be enough. That's because in the end, abnormal will never be normal no matter how many lies are told.

Is marriage a right at all? People confuse rights and privileges all the time. And I wouldn't be surprised if most folks foncuse rights and rites.
I tend to think marriage is a right, not a privilege. God instituted marriage in Genesis 2.
I know some conservatives claim it is a privilege, sort of like getting a driver's license. But I tend to think of it as something more like gun ownership, even though marriage is not in the Bill of Rights. The government recognizes our right to marry, like our right to own a gun, but it does not give us those rights. We would have them anyway, even if there was no government.
Of course, the right to marry, like our rights to life and liberty, is not unlimited, and the government has no obligation to recognize marriage between a man and a goat, a woman and her son, a brother to his three sisters, nor a marriage between a man and a man.

Well why not? I mean, couldn't they just do it anyway even if there was no government? Telling one group of people it's okay to get hitched, while denying others, I mean that's just wrong. Homos (or goats) getting married isn't hurting anyone. *shrug* :)

I was reading the early exchange on this. I don't think they realize that employers really don't like folks with attendance issues. You could fellate a goat and the company won't care. Just don't do it on company time. You come in five minutes late three times, you are on attendance warning to get fired, no matter what excuse.
Gays get employment chops because they don't have child care issues. Ear infections are the bane of employers everywhere.
So if you want to do something really good for your cause, get them to do perfect attendance for gay rights. That would be more effective.
Last two years in a row I had elder care issues, and I had to miss several days and I was on "verbal warning" twice. This year I am back to perfect attendance again. I have perfect attendance most years, which is why I am still with the company for what is going to be 12 years February 1st
