I see they're not using their Mickey Mouse ears logo anymore. At least Disney's lawyers cracked down on something finally.

And just like Disney Land, Disney World, Sea World, 6 Flags, Magic Mountain or any other PUBLIC theme park; the theme park is going to pay the price. Some uninformed person is going to accuse the theme park of organizing and promoting this type of event.
The fact of the matter is that ANY group can organize and descend upon ANY PUBLIC theme park; and if the theme park denies them entrance, or does/says or even looks askew at that group, the theme park will be sued for discrimination. The groups know this, and they want to exploit this to their benefit. For these groups, it's nothing more than a power-play to insult not only the parks reputation, but to force parents to explain the concepts of 'perversion' to a child.

I've always wondered why gay people insist on putting their bedroom out on their front porch...if you get my meaning.
"Public" theme parks? WHICH municipalities own them? To be a 'public' park they would have to be supported by tax monies. No?
They are PRIVATE parks, opened to the public, at the pleasure of their owning corporations - who can discriminate between which activities they will allow, and which ones they will not allow. They allow these particular events on their properties because they are without scruples and are only interested in profit.
Not the front porch. The sewer.
Only goes to show how mentally disturbed a portion of the population is, along with the murders, rapists, etc. it leaves far fewer sane citizens from keeping the country from imploding.
I remember someone from my Church saying that they once worked at a theme park that had a "gay day". Since most of the people would call in sick if they knew in advance what was scheduled, the park wouldn't tell the employees when the "gay day" would take place. With this kind of advance notice, the park managers must be doing something drastic, like threats or large bonuses, to get the place staffed.
It isn't enought that they have their own cruises, events, etc. devoted solely to their bedroom habits (try having a straights-only cruise, and see what happens!), they have to descend upon the places where they know the "breeders" will be with their children.
,,, I'll be outing myself anywhere but Dollywood.
What, pray tell, will be *out*?
Frontier City here in Oklahoma has Christian days. They'll have a few Christian bands playing during those weekends. The park is owned by Six Flags. I don't know about any gay days. That probably wouldn't go over well here, not too many queers and a lot of rednecks.
The real test of whether or not a company is involved in queer events is whether or not they help promote the events in advertising.
Good point regarding the cruises. If we had done a gun-owners only cruise during the Clinton years, Janet Reno would have fired a cruise missile at us.
You and I both wonder the same thing.
Even more puzzling is how they expect to be able to do this with total freedom from judgment or criticism. If you don't want social judgment, keep it private.
I think Dollywood was one of the parks that actually forced the homos to stop using the logos of the park.
Disney gives group rates, special reception/parties, and hotel blocks.
However they continue to refuse to warn mothers and fathers that homosexals are having a homo-sex day at the park.
