Is anyone actually doing this??b, 21b, 21b/wb, 21b, 21My company cafeteria picked the wrong day to serve Creme Brulee for dessert.b, 21b, 21b, 21 'Day Without a Gay'/b1 b, 21Homosexuals urged to skip workb, 21???John Keilman b, 21December 9, 2008 b, 21The HR office has probably never encountered this before: People across the country are being urged to skip work Wednesday after calling in "gay."b, 21b, 21The loosely organized protest, called "Day Without a Gay," (www.daywithoutagay.org) is intended as a statement against California's ban on same-sex marriage, along with other political developments considered anti-gay.b, 21b, 21Some are calling for a boycott of all economic activity to highlight the gay community's financial power. Others want gays and lesbians to spend the day volunteering for worthy causes to demonstrate their compassion, which could win new sympathy to their cause.b, 21b, 21In Chicago, the Gay Liberation Network has called for an 11 a.m. rally outside the County Building, 118 N. Clark St., to call for granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Network co-founder Andy Thayer said he didn't expect people to actually "call in gay," but added that "many people will find one way or the other to not be in work that day, because we're sick of being treated like second-class citizens."

    It would be interesting if gheys just (temporarily) vanished like A Day Without A Mexican. Then we'd be like "See? I KNEW so-and-so was light in the loafers!"b, 21b, 21Okay, truth be told I just want to prove my straightness to all my coworkers who mistake my argyle socks and cashmere cardigans for an alternative lifestyle.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21I can picture you and Daziepoo all snuggled up and toasty this morning, maybe some lighthearted spooning going on, and childish giggling in the background as the two of you call in to work. That dime-a-dozen bank you work for will certainly persevere, and something tells me very few people in the gay porn industry really don't want to miss work so Daze probably just had his way with you and left for his day of fluffing twinks.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21That was part of it - straight guys come to the club sometimes, but they rarely tip even if I give them a real good dance.
