National Not Coming Out Day

If you're gay, today you don't play. From the official website:

The worldwide media attention surrounding our massive grassweb efforts for gay rights has been tremendous. Join the Impact was a HUGE success and will continue to thrive because of our efforts.

We've reacted to anti-gay ballot initiatives in California, Arizona Florida, and Arkansas with anger, with resolve, and with courage. NOW, it's time to show America and the world how we love.

Gay people and our allies are compassionate, sensitive, caring, mobilized, and programmed for success. A day without gays would be tragic because it would be a day without love.

*SNORT!* *GUFFAW!*

Huh hmmm, let me compose myself and go on:

On December 10, 2008 the gay community will take a historic stance against hatred by donating love to a variety of different causes.

On December 10, you are encouraged not to call in sick to work. You are encouraged to call in "gay"--and donate your time to service!

Whatever you do, please don't "show us how you love". I've seen enough of that at Gay Days at Disneyland.


Since these folks are all for "coming out", I'm declaring this National Not Coming Out Day, since they won't be coming out to work. Somehow, I think we'll muddle through it.

Anything that gets people off the freeway is okay with me.
