a gay without a day

So today was the day where all the gaybo’s were supposed to stay home from work to make some point about… uh…. that gays have jobs? and… that… um… prop 8?

i don’t understand it.  here’s an article that doesn’t really help explain it.

Hetherington said he has been careful to design A Day Without a Gay — he came up with the name after the film “A Day Without a Mexican” and liked it because it rhymed — so no one feels excluded or threatened.

OOOOOOH! Now I get it.  It rhymes. Is there a gayer reason to do anything?  Did any of you guys participate in this? Or at least know someone who did?  I think it’s stupid.  Put it on a Friday and I’ll think about it.

Speaking of work — my boss is joining a union for a job he’s doing because “it’ll be funny.”  A little context might help — we’re a conservative firm, so we all hate unions.   Plus, he’s not exactly the type of person that unions are meant for in the first place.  Like Catarina said “i can just imagine him sitting in a big leather chair, smoking a cigar and laughing about the clubs the working people join.”  Okay, so that’s an exaggeration, but still. Who joins a union becuase it’s funny?  Even if he hadn’t joined though, he’d still have been forced to pay the union “fees” that are almost as much as the dues.

I really hate unions.
