A Day Without A Gay – Maybe Not Such a Good Idea

A Day without a GayAs a gay man in a grandfathered California same sex marriage, I'm as much interested in equal rights under the law as anybody else. I am vehemently opposed to Jeebus-based intolerance, and I think calling Mormons Morons is a vast understatement of the facts. It is quite possible that you will not meet anyone with more contempt for Jeebus-brand superstitious cults.

With that in mind, please be assured that I'm not being homophobic or self loathing when I say that I have serious reservations about the wisdom of the Day Without a Gay idea. I certainly like the idea of gay people trying to draw attention to the injustice that has been done in California and elsewhere in the name of the God of sexism, racism, genocide and homophobia. I just worry that a Day Without a Gay is likely to be counterproductive.

It seems to me that this action might tend to antagonize non-gay coworkers who might otherwise tend to support equal rights for all human beings. In order for gays and lesbians to win our struggle against the overwhelming stupidity and malice of Christianity we need to recruit allies (I like that word recruit!) instead of pissing them off.

So that is my opinion, other people may have perfectly valid opinions that differ from mine. Since I retired from the corporate world 2 years ago, and I run my teeny tiny web hosting operation from home anyway, I'm not in a position to participate even if I did agree with the plan.

So it goes. Jeebus thinks they are jerks anyway.
