I just heard on news radio that some celebs are planning a no gays for a day boycott of work and spending. I'm not sure what day it's going to be but it sounds like a great way to protest the outcome of the last elections across the county. They are saying if you are gay, you should stay home from work and stay out of the stores to show how much our money helps to move the economy. Kathy Griffen is giving her entire staff the day off, Neil Patrick Harris is on board.

I just checked the radio stations web site for more info but couldn't find it. I will keep looking a post more when I can.
 
So, the only important thing about us is our money?

Oh brother. Yes that's it, it's our money and only our money. Jeez. I think most people, including probably our fellow gay citizens don't realize how an important part of our economic society we are. This was intended to show that. I didn't think the idea up, I was simply passing along something that I thought was interesting to the group.

what happens if the boycotting doesn't really effect much of anything and we find out the world goes on without us?

Dingdingding, we have a winner.

Also, this only applies to those of us who are out. If you're in the closet, you won't participate.
Objection number three (puka-pride's being #1): if this works, we will need to do a full boycott for at least a week, perhaps even longer. And nobody wants that.
Lastly, I believe I have read this one before. A couple of times even. This idea crops up in different forms and for different reasons and it just never works.
 
we should all protest str8 weddings instead... go stand infront of mormon churches or whatever whenever a wedding is going on and hold up our picket signs and ruin their happy day just like they ruined our right to have ours
 
I understand the idea, however the world won't stop spinning if we jump off for a day. Everyone will just have to buy more the day before or after.

How about everyone buys 1 share of stock in a certain gay friendly company one day- decide on it before the day so everyone is buying the same one .. . that could be up to say 3,000,000 shares traded that day (1% of population), and you could buy your share in private if you aren't out . .

Something like that could make the news. The artificial demand would spike the price, and then it would settle back to normal soon enough, but the point would be made. Wouldn't be overly expensive for most people (find something with a reasonable share price), and easy to do . .

I'm making this up as I go along . . . just an idea.
 
Kathy "Please Mention My Name - I Need The Money" Griffin and Neil "I Used To Be Doogie Howser" Harris.
Yeah, let's take advice from them.
:rolleyes:
I guess that Dustin "Screech" Diamond and Ron "Arnold Horshack" Palillo weren't available for comment...

This concept is fatally flawed.
Sorry...
 
I don't think it will work. The reason the immigrants one worked was because there were so much of them. With gay people, there's too many closeted people and after this is done they'll think "Really? This is all the gay people there are?" when really there's a whole lot more.

Maybe they should do "No Gays and their Supporters For A Day".
 
I've heard some doozies in my time, but this is one of the most lamebrain ideas I've ever heard.
 
i saw a movie that all the gays in the nation went on strike, it was hilarious.

no florist, no hairdresser...

One this is for certain, no one would be able to have a wedding without the gays....
 
Is it me, or does this sound like a protest from the other side of the fence?

Does this apply to all gays, or just upper middle class gays who shop at nice stores and drink expensive coffee?

I understand where you're coming from, but not all of us have the luxury to just boycott work.
 
How extremely silly. People who think the world will stop without them are always disappointed.

You sure about that one? I don't think Mormons, Amish, Muslims, and Hasidim would be affected. :-)

Oh, I forgot- there aren't gay Mormons, gay Amish, gay Muslims or gay Hasids... :p

Perhaps the Amish- they're into such simple weddings and there wouldn't be any electricity to run the hair dryer and curling iron for the bride's up-do. What kind of wedding would that be?
