If I were a boss, and the employee did not have sick and/or vacation days, I'd fire them. |

Nidonemo...I was waiting for someone to say that  I moved here to SF about a month or so ago. The funny thing is, no one in the tech industry even knew it was happening. When I brought it up, I was told just call in, "like normal." Hence my post...  |

"..to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians.."OMG!! We RELY on "gays and lesbians." (I thought lesbians were considered "gay"). Anyway, as difficult as it may seem, I'm sure the rest of us would figure out a way to get along if all the gay people were somehow abducted by aliens in the middle of the night...the same way as the rest of the planet would figure out a way to get along if group x...y...z...whatever were to just "call in sick" ...idiots! |

"I can't come in today."
"(ear-splitting, age-regressing whine) Whyyyyyyyy?"
"I've got the Gay."
"Tsk. Stop messing around and get here."
"No, really, I got the Gay, I can't work today."
"...you're fired." *click*
Sorry gay people. I love you to death, but I've got bills to pay. |

I didn't know about it until it was too late... damn.But the whole "Day without a Gay" thing might go over well if you could get all Homosexuals to do it. You think the economy is doing poorly now, let's see how it does when 10% of the population refuses to work until they get equal rights. |

HypermonkeyThe day of silence isn't really about rights. It's about not talking to silence the hate. Like using the words gay or faggot or dyke. My high school did it and i tried to participate. But thing is...i barely talk anyway and lunch was th only time i ever got to talk so i wasn't about to give that up lol. |

I personally think it COULD have been a god idea but with the economy the way it is now I don't think anyone should foolishly risk their jobs like that. Still was a pretty kick ass idea. |

Aw, I missed it.Oh well, I don't have any more sick days left anyway. Digression: The only thing I don't like about gays is how they stole rainbows. >.> I know it wasn't on purpose, and I don't really hold it against the people themselves, but it still bothers me that I can't wear my favorite old T-shirt from the 90's unless I want to get stupid comments. |

I am totally for gay rights and gay marriage. I don't believe anybody should have the right to make choices for anybody else. =p |

"and for anyone who mentioned "Day of silence"; that's an even worse example.
I don't understand how a day of not talking about your rights will benefit you actually GETTING those rights. It's doing what we've done for hundreds of years and by not taking action we're taking action?
Stupid if you ask me."
Its a silent protest marking the way the voice for gay rights has been silenced, not a protest in the way your thinking. Rather than something like this that will cause more of an issue, you simply remain silent. Its all metaphorical. |

I called in sick to work, but it's just because I didn't want to go. :/ I tried to call in gay to school and my dean laughed then hung up on me. -sigh- |

Marriage sucks. Most people get divorced. Let the gays have stupid marriage. No one likes it anyway. |

I don't really think this is going to do anything for homosexuals.. I completely support gay marriage, but it's not like you're special because you're gay. |

So if they are telling you to call in sick because you're gay, they're acknowledging that being gay is a disease? |
