SAN FRANCISCO—A daylong work stoppage for which people were encouraged to call in "gay" to express support for same-sex marriage drew spotty participation Wednesday, with some gay rights activists praising the event and others questioning its value.
People who opted to take the day off from their jobs as part of the national "Day Without a Gay" were encouraged to perform community service, and charitable organizations across the country said they had volunteers showing up.
The protest, which a gay couple from West Hollywood organized through the Internet, was designed to demonstrate the economic clout of same-sex marriage supporters following the passage of voter-approved gay marriage bans in California, Arizona and Florida last month.
Participants also were asked to refrain from spending money or at least to patronize gay-friendly businesses for the day.

The RumpRangers & Carpet Munchers decided to not show up for work today in protest of the passing of Prop 8. Hundreds of interior decorating, hair styling appointments were canceled today. Sales of Vaseline & dildo's were also reported down.
Give me a fucking break
