Full disclosure: I work in mostly gay office. I am not gay. I strongly opposed prop 8. I volunteered against it and marched in protest following its passage.
So I heard about this on the phone yesterday from someone out of town.
Ironically, the office I was in (on University Ave in the middle of Hillcrest) was packed.
My broker helped to start the Flame (the lesbian bar) in the early eighties and the Gayzette (the forerunner to the GL Times) before that. Prior to these things, she helped organize the first SD pride parade.
She had no idea this “holigay” existed.
I suspect most of people “calling in gay” are just lazy jackasses. I suppose there could be some believers
Gays have come to prominence and acceptance largely through consumerism and economic relevance. I respect their rights and marched in for civil rights a few weeks ago.
I suspect this will be as successful as the “don’t bring your Mexican to work day” or whatever it was.
I support the underlying cause (of both the Mexican and gay thing) but you don’t make your voice heard by being less relevant.
Socratt, was that your best play on words?
Sad.
edit:
Final note: I saw one Spanish-lannguage camera crew on University yesterday. The female correspondent was bombshell but nobody cared about them. Truly a lame and pointless holiday.
