SAN FRANCISCO -- Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to "call in gay" Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it's wise to encourage skipping work given the United States' economic distress.So they organize what is basically a worker strike in San Francisco with no demands other than being appreciated more than non-gay workers. That in itself strikes me as egocentric and kinda silly. What makes it really stupid is the fact that they did it now while this is is going on...
Nearly 400 San Francisco city workers to lose jobsThat's right. For those of you following along at home, they are organizing a needless worker strike in San Francisco on a day when the Mayor of San Francisco is trying to figure out how to determine which 400 employees will get laid off.
Hundreds of San Francisco city workers will soon be out of work. Mayor Gavin Newsom said Tuesday nearly 400 people will lose their jobs under a proposal to reduce the city's deficit.
Its like an economic Darwin award going on. So were the organizers just that dumb or are they anti-gay and wanted to get them fired? They might as well have organized a "play on the freeway if you're gay" day or a "wire your retirement savings to JR's account if you're a homosexual" day.
The sad thing is if you are so ignorant or unaware of whats going on that you fell for this you likely aren't a big contributor to your employer anyway.
