WHICH IS EXACTLY THE IMPACT YOU'D EXPECT:

‘Day without a gay’ fizzling in Orange County (Martin Wisckol, 12/10/08, Orange County Register)

Some gay marriage advocates wanted to make their importance to the economy known today, by not showing up for the work. The boycott, intended as a show of solidarity against the passage of Proposition 8 last month, was modeled loosely after the 2006 immigration-rights demonstrations.

But I’m having trouble finding any impact in Orange County. The County of Orange government, the largest employer here with 17,400 workers, reports no noticeable effect from the boycott.

Whereas the economy depends on the people who voted against it.
