I don't see where they're being encouraged to participate.... in fact, I would prefer if straight people didn't.

There are times when the differences need to be underscored and I think this is one of them.

Go to work, breeders. We got this.

I was looking at this in the event description:

We are calling for a nationwide strike and economic boycott by all members of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered community AND OUR STRAIGHT ALLIES

This is an instance where minorities can use slurs aimed at the majority but the other way around would be called bigotry, bashing, or an -ism.

Oh but no see, didn't you know that Jesus Hussein Obama emancipated us? We can't say "breeder" any more because we're all free and equal now.

You're now a member of the majority. Congrats and welcome!! Now the world doesn't need a "day with a gay." You and I should just take a vacation and frolic in an open field with puppies.

I surveyed my local fellas who like the fellas, and they said "thanks for the support but we've got this" and their opinion on the issue matters more to me than doing it or not. I kind of feel that when it comes to certain issues that don't affect me directly, but affect those I love, I shouldn't be at the front lines, but supporting them how they need to be supported, even if that means not being involved. As my friend pointed out if all the straighties call out it doesn't show the impact of those who are gay accurately, which is what it means to him and his husband.

So did anyone else see the movie Wedding Wars" with Uncle Jesse AKA John Stamos? Some peeps I know are going to watch that movie on their day off.
