Pop! Quiz: Are you calling in gay?

As you may have heard, there has been a nationwide protest organized for today called A Day Without a Gay, which asks gays, lesbians and their allies to "call in gay" and spend the day dodging bill collectors and doing charity work in their communities.

In theory, an interesting idea. In practice, not exactly the most practical for a lot of folks. For example, what about people who aren't out at work? Could be awkward, if not downright employment-endangering (not all people have job security or are protected on the basis of their sexuality).

And what about people that work for gay companies, gay-owned businesses or gay causes? Like, what if I were to call in gay ... would they have a straight temp take over AfterElton Blog for the day? That could get ugly unless you want to trade in your gay entertainment news for fantasy football and pictures of Brooke Burke.

So I ask ya: Did you call in gay today? Let us know, after the jump!
