What is up with this whole Holigay stuff?

[socrattt]

I keep reading this “Day with a Gay” and “Day without a Gay” garbage. When are people going to realize we have a whole lot more important things to worry about than another excuse for a Holigay(My version of a gay Holiday)!!

I thought this would be a perfect discussion for the OT board. This is getting out of hand. We should inform these gay people that calling in gay isn’t going to help on a resume. Let’s focus on the economy, not on the anatomy. Let’s do bus rides down to TJ for gay marriages so there are no complainers!!!!

I want to here both sides of this topic so that we can waste more time talking about the official “Gay Day”!!

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.

Urban, I was more trying to make a point that I am really tired of hearing about situations that don’t belong in society at this point. This is a free country, speak your mind, but when we are sitting on the verge of one of the worst economic times in history, taking a gay day doesn’t sit right with me.

I am not condemning you for your views and like you said it probably is nothing more than a bunch of lazy people trying to get a day off. Unfortunately I even saw a headline on Yahoo, which makes me believe a lot more people were involved in this gay day which is a bit shocking! It’s over and I hope people start realizing that we have a lot more important things to worry about.

As we seem to always have opposite views, I think we actually somewhat both agree here for once. Glad to hear your office is staying busy!!!

Not sure why you would since I agreed with you.

Honestly, this is a silly conversation and not as humorous as I like my threads.
