"Nothing for me to call in gay from. As a semi-student, I'm not calling in gay from my final exams. My last position dealt with national and community service, and hopefully my next one on some level will too.
I do, however, like the notion of increased community service. The Corporation for National and Community Service (think AmeriCorps, SeniorCorps, etc) promotes service on the Martin Luther King holiday though its "make it a day on... not a day off" promotions. I'd be more likely to participate in a service day during the annual pride celebrations than to attend yet another tired parade.
