So I've recently read that the gay activists are considering a "calling in gay" day on which they all decide to take a vacation day instead of going to work. Presumably, this will make some sort of difference someday. I personally suspect it's going to end up teaching them just how great their numbers are and how important their little faction is in this big country.
See, this idea suffers from the same kind of insipidness as the repeated plans to not buy gas on a certain day, only with likely a smaller population group. If all who label themselves 'gay' (including the virgins, which, by the way, is one method they use to make the Christian label of sin work for more than just the act to which it applies, giving an excuse to cry hatred where none exists) leave and manage to take a fair amount of their non-gay supporters with them, they just might be able to, in some local areas, have almost as much of an impact on this country and its economy as Columbus Day.
If they make it yearly and try to roust more and more people to the cause, the biggest possible effect I can see is a Christian or two getting hung on an anti-discrimination clause a few years into the future for simply showing up to work on the 'wrong day'. But let's face it... there are more and more reasons to lawfully persecute Christians in this country than there have ever been, and it's only going to get more bizarre.
As far as I'm concerned, they can go for it! It's a much healthier way to get out their frustrations than keying cars, harassing restaurant customers, sending white powder to Mormon temples, knocking down old ladies, and telling Californian blacks who venture out of their neighborhoods that they'd better just watch their backs.
In other news, a committee in New Jersey claim that civil unions might not be doing their job because sometimes participants aren't treated quite like they're legally married. Wake up, people, and get used to it! Maybe twenty years ago or so, people who were married were treated as if they were married. Nowadays, however, many stores will not even link our savings cards so that my husband's milk purchases count towards our free sixth gallon. The person who opens an account owns it, and it's increasingly difficult for me to conduct any kind of business with a company if the account is in my husband's name (and vice versa), even for ridiculous things like electricity or telephone going to the same house!
When I was working full-time, whenever my husband showed up to bring me the lunch I'd forgotten or the medication I needed, I had to give him my name, department, phone number, and card ID ahead of time or they wouldn't even tell him that I worked there. He could have showed up with the original copy of our marriage certificate to no avail. Was this a security procedure due to the nature of my work? Actually, no. It was only put into place to deal with abusive spouses. He wasn't allowed to pick up my paycheck, either, but it could get mailed straight to the house we both live in!
It takes twice as long to fill in any application or registration for hospitals or doctor's offices nowadays, because the forms do NOT assume in any way that being married means that you live in the same house, have the same telephone number, go by the same last name, or even want your spouse notified in case of an emergency. Add a kid as the product of your marriage and it gets even longer!
This society is proceeding slowly towards that in countries like Holland, where anybody can marry and almost nobody ever bothers to do so. "It doesn't really mean anything anymore," I've heard from residents when trying to find out why. The sad thing is that the people pushing hardest for this change are the gay activists, who want gay marriage to, in the end, be nothing more than a reason to shut up any voice within society that suggests that there's any religion that does not approve of their actions. Too bad for the five or ten gay couples in the U.S. (and the 97% or so heterosexuals, with 70% of them claiming the Christian religion) who were actually hoping to get something more meaningful out of it than a piece of jewelry and a bunch of words.
It really is too bad that we live in a country where belonging to the majority suddenly acts like a sign around your neck saying "Oppressor", a sign, mind you, added and seen only by the civil, racial, sexual, religious, and socio-economic minorities. It seems more than a wee bit hypocritical that the people wearing the "Scarlet Letter" about their persons are only wearing it because the people who are supposedly run down into the ground are in power to put it there. But remember. They're oppressed and have no voice.
