"A Day Without Gay"

ok so I was just informed that same sex marriage supporters are being encouraged to call in "gay" to work wednesday december 10 to show how much the country depends on gays and lesbians. supporters should instead spend the day performing community service. this action, which coincides with today's International Human Rights Day, is controversial because participants are urged not to call in sick but to call in gay, which could put their jobs in jeopardy. what does this prove? I have absolutely no idea, but can I call in gay to school during finals? lol def. wouldn't hurt to try.
