A daylong work stoppage for which people were encouraged to call in "gay" to express support for same-sex marriage drew spotty participation Wednesday, with some gay rights activists praising the event and others questioning its value. (
'Day Without a Gay' participation spotty...)
"Visibility is really important for the gay community, so after a lot of thought I decided I would come out and be visible with my colleagues at work and use the time working for the community," said Carrie Lewis, 36, a University of California health researcher who spent the day working at the Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Center.
(How about taking the day off from work because you believe in family values. Those who believe in same sex marriage would have a bigger impact on me if they just worked hard and tried to get civil unions instead of yelling about their rights to get married. By the way no-where is the right to same sex marriage found in the constitution.)
