Well, since I gave up skiing in 1976, due to a torn ACL, I guess this story doesn't affect me much. I'm sure the hotels, bars, and ski areas around there won't mind too much, though, if a bunch of affluent gays come to town.
If I did still ski, it wouldn't cause me to cancel a trip I'd planned there. I don't suppose there will be gay sex on the slopes, and I never hung out in bars when I was skiing anyhow.
One question, though: Do gays ski differently than straight people?

Hehehe...holding each other's poles, perhaps.

Why must homosexuals single themselves out for everything? Gay this and gay that? Yet they complain they just want to be equal. No they don't, they want to be more than equal.

"This community is so accepting of absolutely anything," said Ron Gilmer.. Well, that's been true for decades. It's not a good thing.
If I were spending money on a vacation, I would want to know if large groups were going be there at the same time. I wouldn't want to book the same hotel as the "Sadists and Masochists Annual Convention", for instance.

Well, you could substitute almost any group into your statement. Christians. Moslems. Disabled persons. Whatever. Such statements are flawed on their face, whether you like or dislike any group. Sorry.

Now, see what these morons started??? If the leftist, activist media were not what they are, this issue would not even be on the map.
Typical liberal scenario -- the inmates are running the asylum.

Why not just host them in the summer... Cover a few of the slopes with vasoline and let the freaks have at it! I'm certain no one would care. In fact, it might even turn out to be a great recruitment tool. Tool hmmm.

its not just gays...The NAACP, Hispanic organizations, the white man association, any sort of "insert ethic or race here" organization singles them selves out. They cry for "justice" and equality, but it's just them crying out for more money, more attention, better status.
Here is an idea...It's not in the best interest for the NAACP to get rid of racism. Without it they wouldn't exist. They'd loose millions and political power...they don't care about the "black man." The same goes for all of those originations. All they can and do is split the populous

I did a Google search for each of the following:
"Christian Week Telluride"
"Moslem Week Telluride"
"Disabled Persons Week Telluride"
"Whatever Week Telluride"
No luck with any of them. Buttsex is the only lifestyle choice that masses together for these types of events.

In a community that prides itself on diversity, a controversy erupted last month when a resident of Mountain Village wrote a letter to the editor of a local newspaper, questioning why the ski village would promote the gay ski event Because, at the end of the day, gay dollars are the same color as straight dollars.

Things we probably won't see: Gay NASCAR Race, Gay Rugby Bowl, Gay Monster Truck Rally, Gay Tractor Pull, and the ever popular Gay Steel Cage Death Match.

Mountain Village spokeswoman Kerri Cardin said the resorts first gay-oriented ski week in 2004 attracted about 250-300 people.. Those are confusing numbers...is that an average week for them? 300 gay people and then others? i dunno, but lets assume it was 300 paying customers Those are dismal numbers...300 people for 9 days (assuming 05 will be as long as 04) thats 33 people a day. Either this is the priciest "resort" of all time and can pay their bills, Its not a resort but really a hill with a rope lift, or they didn't pay their bills which would lead one to wonder...why do something that hurts business dearly.

What brand of skis are gay? I want to make sure I don't ever accidentally purchase any gay skis. When I buy skis I want them to be able to make me little skis that will someday be able to support me when I am old!
