That’s a great idea that the gay marriage jihadists have. It’s not enough, in the wake of the democratic referendum in California to preserve traditional marriage, for them to harass and threaten the Mormon church or hurl insults at African Americans that would get anybody else branded as McCarthyite. The next big protest is for this Wednesday, Dec. 10, labeled a “Day Without a Gay.” Backers of same-sex marriage are being urged to skip work by “calling in gay,” to demonstrate how much America relies on gays.
This is terrific. But why let gays have all the fun, and get all the time off? I think the rest of us who are on the losing side of any democratic vote should do the same thing. Everybody who is unhappy that Barack Obama got elected should “call in Republican” – you know, just to demonstrate how much America relies on Republicans. Or, everybody in Massachusetts who was unhappy with the vote to preserve the 5.3 percent state income tax should “call in overtaxed,” just to show how much the state relies on people who are staggering under the tax burden.
It could go on and on – everybody who was unhappy that Deval Patrick got elected governor should “call in no-we-can’t.” I’m sure you can think of others. After all, democracy is so unfair, it ought to at least provide us all with a few more days off.
