due to the fact that our department is understaffed by, about, 5 people*, i have no choice but to come to work tomorrow. on one hand i'm incredibly ashamed by my inability to be that guy; the guy who is willing to risk it for his principles or is able to muster the smallest amount of courage in the name of civil disobedience. my work ethic and sense of "responsibility" to my job** preclude all those feelings, i'm afraid. on the other hand, i live in a state that recognizes our recent canadian nuptials and work for a company that stresses tolerance and recognizes Stephen as my spouse.
So much for being part of a movement.
i'm sorry, all.
*i'm actually alone today as neither K---y nor Cunty are in today, the former having requested the day off last week and the latter deciding last night at 4pm that she wasn't coming in.
**K---y is scheduled to be off tomorrow and if i called out, that would leave Cunty alone.

I'm working as well. I would love to take the day off, but my boss isn't anti-gay. so I figure, why punish him? It's also my work anniversary. And on top of that, it my office's holiday party.
I can't 'not be there.'
I just go to work gay.
How about wearing the white knot. I think it's a great way to stand for what we believe in and if people don't know what it is....all the better you can tell them!. I live in Atlanta...trust me I'll bet not many folks will be able to call in due to life down here.
