Let me get this straight (pardon the pun). On December 10, 2008:
Gays are going to out themselves with their employers and not go in to work.
Each is going to be carrying cash on their persons.
There will be no gays in the coffee shops.
There will be no gays in the malls and stores.
There will be no gays on the Internet.
There will be no gays using their cell phones.
Gays will be doing volunteer work.
Let me remind you of the "Day Without A Mexican" (DWAM) protest of a couple of years ago...
I woke up that day without the sound of lawn mowers and leaf blowers to be heard.
I made every green light on my way to the freeway, due to lack of obstructing traffic.
I made it to work in 38 minutes, when it normally takes an hour or more, again due to lack of obstructing traffic.
I had my choice of parking spaces, what with getting to work early and there being 4 space for every car all that day.
Every time I called a vendor or service center, I got through to somebody on the first try, and that person spoke English.
I went to the deli, and there were only two or three people in line at any given time, due to the efficiency of the counter people.
The people that took my order, prepared the meal, and brought it out to me all spoke perfect English (I tipped 20%).
I made every green light on my way to the freeway, again due to lack of obstructing traffic.
I made it home from work in 38 minutes, when it normally takes an hour or more, again due to lack of obstructing traffic.
There were no cars playing boom-boom mariachi or banda music anywhere, so I arrived home in a good mood.
I took my wife to a local restaurant, and I got to park my car myself, instead of being held to the mercy of the valet service.
Again, we were waited on by Enlish-speaking people, who were polite, accurate, and speedy (I tipped 25%).
I had such a nice, quiet, stress-free day that day, that I wished that there would be another DWAM, but alas, no such luck. It seems that even the local organizers of the DWAM were embarrassed that it was so well-received, and that the people they were protesting against actually
want them to organize another.
I predict that your efforts will be just as well-received, and that everybody will actually end up looking forward to another one.
Good Luck! I hope that your day off is as peaceful for you as it will be for the rest of us.
