KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Dollywood officials have offered a refund to a lesbian couple after an employee asked one of the women to turn her T-shirt inside out to hide the slogan "marriage is so gay."

Park officials called off a meeting with the couple when Jennifer Tipton and Olivier Odom wanted to bring a representative from Campaign for Southern Equality, a gay rights organization.

Refund their money and be done with it. Case closed. No meetings, no “reps” no third parties, no nothing. If they file complaints, fight back with their harrassment, Dollywood’s freedom to set its own policies, and a flat out statement they will not under any circumstances bow to pressure.

And that’s that. End it now.

Good luck.

Since when is the homosexual agenda placated so easily?

[Responsibility2nd]

While I agree with you, you and I both know this ain’t over. They will use this as a wedge to get “in your face” with their queer agenda.

And Dolly will apologize and capitulate.

Hello Dolly, and hurrah for her.

the slogan "marriage is so gay."

Wait. I thought the Ministry of Truth was busy telling us it's wrong to call things "gay." So, which is it?

Caving to the homosexual agenda deserves a cheer?! Not in my book. Or FR’s.

If Dollywood “caves” they will lose more business than if they stand by their decision. Dollywood is in the middle of the bible belt, the majority of Dollywoods clientele oppose gay rights.

Well, decades of pandering to the PC crowd has gotten us where . . . ?

To this, that’s where.

A divorce lawyer with a big smile on his face showed up the next day with a T-shirt that said “Divorce and Alimony are now so Gay”.

As the bumper sticker says:

GAY Marriage is for Suckers!

although in all honesty I probably see ten or twenty people wearing far more offensive t-shirts whenever I go to a public place anymore

It’s wrong for US to use the word. It’s OK for THEM to. Just like African-Americans are the only ones allowed to use the dreaded N-word. . .

Yep
