I do not think you achieve this by staying home from work and forcing your co workers to work extra hours and try to cover the slack. This only serves to increase resentment and anger from the people you want to reach out to.

How much news coverage would that generate?

People take notice when it lightens their wallets, and that's part of the idea.

There are some dark waters swirling around the origins of and motivations of homosexuality. I think this stunt just adds to them.

Wow, dark waters swirling, that certainly sounds scary!

It reminds me of the parties the GLBT people throw around here. They invite “bi-curious” to attend. But remember, sexual preference is “genetic”.???

There are some dark waters swirling around the origins of and motivations of homosexuality. I think this stunt just adds to them.

Your idea of working for charity is a winner, and the impression that calling in sick will backfire is accurate.
