Today is Day Without A Gay day. That means that all the gay people are "supposed" to call in sick (or gay) and not work today and not even spend any money today as a form of protest because of Prop 8.
I don't really have to go to a job every day so that isn't a problem for me but I do support this protest. For example, I barely have any food in the pantry and fridge but I will eat tuna and egg salad sandwiches for lunch and dinner if that means I am helping out.
