Let’s call in gay tomorrow.

Not sick, not tired, not stranded without a car. Just gay.

That’s the plan for national “Day Without a Gay,” scheduled to hit America like a ton of bricks tomorrow (Wednesday December 10). The initiative is the brain child of a West Hollywood comedian and his boyfriend in response to California’s Proposition 8. They borrowed the idea from the Latino population who have staged strikes in the past against deportation and workers’ rights laws for immigrants.

The idea? To see the effect the GLBT community–and their straight allies–have on the American workforce and economy in general. Daywithoutagay.org is asking all queer people to not only “call in gay” but also to refrain from spending any money and do volunteer work instead.

So let’s do it. Why?

Proposition 8 is an abomination, more than all the other made-up “abominations” that are allegedly in the Bible. Last time I checked, Sodom and Gomorrah was just ONE story among thousands in the Old Testament (and it was about pagan harvest rituals, not homosexuality, but that’s another story for another time). It’s not like any part of it was written in stone or anything. But there was something written in stone…

Oh yeah! The 10 Commandments! “Love thy neighbor,” “thou shalt not kill,” “thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “thou shalt not steal” are all up on that list of mortal sins. Wow! Looks like I know a few high-powered “Christians” who are gonna steal my seat in Hell.

But tell me if I missed something; was “Thou shalt not be a fag” anywhere on those tablets?

Seems God was much more worried about the horrible things we do to each other instead of two human beings falling in love and making a commitment. Are we stupid enough to believe that any god would have such human insecurities as homophobia? Bitch, please.

So, come on. Who feels a little “gay” coming on? Right in the sinuses?
