You read that right! “Call in gay” day scheduled for today.

It’s part of a national grass-roots effort called “Day Without a Gay,” designed to show the size and impact of the gay and lesbian community. Organizers are urging people to “call in gay” — skipping work to volunteer at human-rights organizations.

Energized by the success of last month’s anti-Proposition 8 protests nationwide, gay-rights activists and organizations are planning other actions. Two are happening today coinciding with International Human Rights Day.

I can’t really call in “gay” today since everyone knows I’m not gay and I’m married. Not that I’d really need an excuse anyway.

The gays did get shafted with Proposition 8. I don’t really care if people are gay or not and I don’t see why they can’t get the benefits of being married. I’m still a bit confused about gays that are Catholic. Their own religion tells them it’s wrong to be gay. Why continue to be Catholic then? If I found out some place hated Asians, I don’t think I would go there. That may be apples and oranges, whatever.
