Today was supposed to be the day that supporters of same sex “marriage” took a day off work by calling in “gay.”

It’s supposed to show how much of an impact gay folks have on our economy…. or something.

If I’m an employer and someone calls in “gay,” I’m not sure what I’d do. At the very least, I wouldn’t pay them a cent for the day they’re off. I’d probably have to look at their history with the company and see if they’ve really been that useful to the business. If not, I’d seriously have to think about letting them go. Cutting expenses in this economy is what a lot of businesses are doing, and if given the choice between a worker who came into work and one who “called in gay,” I’d have to give the advantage to the worker who was at work that day.

Being gay isn’t like being black or Asian. People can choose to engage in that behavior; you can’t choose your race. If you can choose your behavior, then I should be able to base my decisions on that behavior and whether or not I like it. Why should your so-called rights trump mine?
