I understand the concept: to show America just how much it relies on a workforce full of GLBT peoples. Unfortunately, in this time, I don’t really think it will do much good. For my employer especially, they really do count on me being here. Taking a ‘gay’ day off would be devastating because our workforce is already stretch far too thin as it is.

Inevitably, the topic will come up with the few coworkers where I’m transparent about who I am. How will I answer them? Well, of course I’ll state the above. Though, truth be told, I think there are much better ways to prove a point than to be detrimental to your job. Keep talking about what’s important to you, and keep telling people about how you feel, in my book, is much more important. I strongly feel my coworkers understand and accept that I should have certain rights. One person at a time is how I think we should work, not some gimmick that gets media attention.
