I kid, actually. I for once have found myself in support of these stupid protest days. The theory is that the GBLT community (a phrase I've always thought encourages stereotypes and generalizations) is comprised of productive members of society and if they were to suddenly cease existing, the economic impact will be enough to I guess convince people that they deserve the same rights. Fair enough. I don't personally think much will come of it, but I'll let them give it a shot.

But one thing:

They are actually encouraging straight people to participate.

Seriously.

When that happens it will cease to be "A Day without Gays" and will become "A Day without some people." It will throw off their statistics, invalidate their data.

What's more, encouraging straight people to participate makes it sound like they think they won't have enough of an impact alone.

It just occurred to me that this might just be code for gays afraid to come out of the closet who want to participate, but damn it, grow a pair or go to work.

EDIT: Throw, not through. Damn it.

Yeah, that's really dumb.

I do like the sound of this protest a lot more than that stupid Day of Silence, though. At least this one actually says something.
