I'm sure if Six Flags wanted, they could bring an action to legally enjoin The Dallas Voice, Texas Triangle and QTexas from the unauthorized use of the Six Flags name in their "Gay Days" ads. The fact that Six Flags doesn't is tacit approval of the use of the Six Flags name in the "Gay Days" ads.

While I agree with your sentiment, it's not that easy in practice. Every group in the area uses the Six Flags name in their advertisements. If Six Flags lets other groups use their name, then the courts would toss out any attempt to prevent gays from using their name. The result would be lots of pro-gay advertisement and a wonderful opportunity for the media to portray conservative Christians as haters.

I wish that I didn't disagree with you, but Donald Widemon would do better to focus his efforts elsewhere. This one is a lose-lose situation.

Good point. This is what we should call to the attention of Six Flags.
