Good Question
November 21, 2008
AfterElton asks if "A Day Without a Gay" means a day without Bravo. We think this is a totally fair question, being gay and working for Bravo ourselves. We have been talking to people about this and we're still pretty flummoxed. Is December 10th really going to rock the world when they realize how important and embedded gay people are in their normal lives? Because obviously gays are not just fashion designers, hairdressers, interior decorators and um, bloggers. They're also construction workers, lawyers, vets, clerks, etc. etc. But somehow we're pretty sure a large part of the gay community aren't going to risk their standing at their jobs by "calling in gay." Doubtful that anyone at Bravo would get fired for such a call-in, but for sure the office would be desolate.
We're just not actually sure this is the best protest-type action. But we could totally be wrong. We just really wish this collective gay rage could be focused on something productive - like working towards this. We couldn't say it any better than old Isaac Bailey over in Myrtle Beach. What do you think about the whole "Day Without a Gay" thing?

No, I will lose money, someone could lose their lives, and the city won't look at me as a hero but irresponsible. I think it goes against everything we want to represent, which is that we're like every other person out there, we're just gay. And we just want marriage, if they don't just call off for the hell of it why should we. On top of this ludicrous mess, what are we showing anyone by staying home all day? Nothing. If anything we should all go to work, wearing a rainbow. Silence is a powerful thing, staying home on the couch snickering about telling your boss homosexuality has kept you from work is not. It's ridiculous, I will not be participating, people rely on me, gay or straight.

This type of political action would be wasted/lost due to the holiday season madness and the economic crisis the world is going through... beside it would close the school systems across the country. As we all know the school systems rely on the dedication and power of gay/lesbian staff members in order to function.
This action requires an intense grass roots commitment across the country/globe
