Gay's on Strike?

If I was having my house redone on a tight schedule (to be stereotypical, but some good friends of mine redo homes, not just decorators) and they did not work on the 11th for this reason, it would piss me off... just piss me off, nothing more.

It is poorly thought out, if true.

Being gay does not make someone special in the workplace, it does not set them apart in any way... in no way does it affect their work. It does not make someone a better or worse engineer, logger or hairdresser.
Unless, of course, they don't show up.
If they think this will make that point... it will not. Those that know this already do, those that think differently, will continue to do so because they will always see different as "different" and no amount of noise will change that until they meet someone that changes their mind in person.

I do think it is a miniseries, though.

I too worked for a, predominantly, gay owned/run business. They hired me because they thought I was gay. Happened a lot to me in LA. They were pissed when they found out I was married, until they go used to my work.
