Call in Gay?
I couldn’t help by laugh when I say this the other day "Day Without a Gay: Call In Gay". It made me think of the Robin Tyler quote:
“If homosexuality is a disease, let’s all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can’t work today, still queer";”
Though it doesn’t look like that was the inspiration. In general, it is somewhat a good idea, but will I ‘call in gay’, will any of my colleagues – one might but he wouldn’t be volunteering he would be looking for a lil’ twink to hook up with. Good luck to them in getting volunteers to ‘call in gay’. I just don’t get that galvanized by the whole prop 8 issue, though I seem to be in the minority. In my case, I am just a jaded ol’ queen that thinks relationships suck because men are jerks.
I am lucky in many ways, I work for an employer where I can be openly gay (heck it feels like we outnumber the str8’s many days) and in a profession where many often assume you are gay by default. I’m spoiled and lucky (I once worked at a homophobic college and it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life – I was so miserable that many days all I did was cry.)
Also, read their FAQ, my favorite
Will this get me on Oprah?
If it will get you to help out, then…yes…you’ll be on Oprah, Honey.
*Side note… Not my usual self right now. For the last week I have been working 16to18 hours a day and am just exhausted.
