"It was like they didn't want the kids to see the gay people at all,"

 

I wouldn't want my kids to see a gay fashion ball.

I wouldn't want my kids to see a hetrosexual fashion ball.

I wouldn't want my kids to see a Victorias Secret fashion ball.

 

I don't understand why other groups (read homosexual, religous, political, any lifestyle) insist on cramming their beliefs on children over a parents wishes.

 

What a way to wake up on Sunday morning for children.

You didn't mention alcohol and drugs.

Is the manager a gay?

If you have worked with them, they get vulgar at times.

This is too un-real.

I wonder if they allow the Boy Scouts to meet there?

I doubt anyone going to an event at the Young Men's Christian Association wants to see gay people there.

YMCAs build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. So, naturally, Ys seek employees who exhibit the values behind the mission (caring, honesty, respect and responsibility), who enjoy people and want to make a difference.

Each one of us has been given certain talents to develop and use in some special way. The challenge lies in matching your values and abilities with opportunities in the world around you. The YMCA is a place that allows you to do this.

Take a few minutes and discover all that the YMCA offers. When you choose a career, remember to keep your eyes open to the real rewards. Working for the YMCA means you can have a high-quality lifestyle and reap the rich rewards of helping others. You take home the smile you get from teaching children to tie their shoes or to do the backstroke. You feel pride in watching teens you have mentored graduate from high school and achieve honors. You thrive from the excitement of an adult fitness member who has reached a new goal. You know what it means to impact someone's life.

I don't believe that's what happened here. There was no "cramming" of beliefs.

The scheduler screwed up, plain and simple, by having the "fashion show" still going on when the swimmers were due to arrive.
