"Call In Gay" email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 402 out of 6,406 in politics1 year ago

The anti Prop 8 crowd in California is really doing their part for the economic woes of that state. I have to hand it to them, they have come up with a way to make it easier for management to decide who should get the ax when lay offs are decided.

They are calling on people to "Call in Gay". I guess it's some sort of mindless way to protest against the passage of Prop 8. This is typical liberal stupidity that accomplishes nothing other than costing companies money in an already precarious economic environment.

It's ironic, we on the right are supposed to accept Obama as president and support him because he was duly elected. Shouldn't the same logic work both ways? The same people of California voted in the presidential election as did in the proposition vote, yet if we complain at all it's "sour grapes", but they can whine all they want?

Does that mean I think that the anti Prop 8 people should sit down and shut up? Nope, I think it's the right of everyone in America to speak out for what they think is right. But that freedom works both ways. We can speak just as loudly for what we think is right also.

So go to work because you already agreed to do the job you accepted. Don't call in "Gay" because all that does is tell your boss you don't give a crap about your job. Use your own time to protest for or against whatever you want to protest for or against, and respect the rights of those who don't agree with.

Sound like a plan?

Yeah, it should be grounds for firing... but if any are, I bet the ACLU freaks would come to their rescue... you know, the same ACLU that didn't do squat about all the attacks on religious groups.

Yeah, Louisiana has the same policy.

Well aren't you just the right wing neocon??? Seems to me that the anti-Bush, liberal agenda types just want to have all their way. Imagine having to be tolerant enough to just accept other views and everything....

Tolerance is only something you have to do when presented with the liberal agenda.


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 402 out of 6,406 in politics  1 year ago

Yes, tolerant does seem to be a one way proposition.

I agree only to the extent that I myself am not allowed to involve myself in any type of protest because I am employed by the state in which I live. In other words, if you're allowed to protest, like most Americans are, do it responsibly. Where did you hear about this happening anyway? I mean, I know it's supposedly happening in California in response to the passing of Proposition 8, but where did you find your information?


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 402 out of 6,406 in politics  1 year ago

I heard if from Yahoo News.. meaning the AP wire...

Oh, okay. I just wondered.

I thought it was actually a religious group from the state of California, though. I'm not condoning the practice, I just thought this was the case.

devylan - the religious group I am talking about has it's headquarters in UT and they had members actively calling every member of their group across the entire US. One of their members in UT personally donated $1 million. If it had only been the CA members, they would never have been able to raise that much money that fast. I believe this and a lot of other things are matters for each state to decide for themselves and people from other states and countries should stay out of it and let them make up their own minds without any interference.

They have agreed to hear the ACLU's legal challenge, so they must think they have the authority. But I suspect they will uphold the proposition and so will the US Supreme Court and it will go back to another round of propositions.

That's my non-psychic prediction for the day!

I agree and disagree.

I agree that, like with most things, the few are messing it all up for the rest.

Where I disagree is where you say the legal definition of marriage has anything to do with religion. The only reference to religion in any state marriage law is in authorizing religious ministers to sign marriage certificates.

Marriage from the state's point of view is nothing but a contract between the bride, groom and the state. In marriage, religion only plays the role the couple wants it to.... as it should be.

Everyone who voted one way or the other on Prop 8 showed that they do care.
