"I'm waiting for "Gay Days" at this festival"

I doubt you'll find "Christian Days" there, either. I went to the site and checked out the photos and some of the novelty items they sell there. It's borderline porn.

I think most of the people on this thread missed the point of the article. The point was not if there should be a "gay" week. This is a private business and can do what they want. The point was this: A person placed on his website information that the gay week was going to be held and that families that didn't want to expose their children to the event, could make plans to go elsewhere. The ski resort got up in arms over this because they could see money flying away from straight people not showing up that week. This is a chance you take when you put on special events for certain people.

What I am trying to say is this: Did the website have the right to publish the gay week and let people know? Yes, they did. Do straights have the right to know what is going on in the way of special events such as a gay week that they feel might expose their children to a life style they don't necessarily agree with ? IMO yes, they do.

This is all the article is about, not if you like gays, don't like them, but about freedom of speech and choice.
