NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A lesbian couple is asking for changes at Dollywood after an employee asked one of the women to turn her T-shirt reading "marriage is so gay" inside-out to avoid offending others on a recent visit to the Tennessee theme park complex.
Olivier Odom and Jennifer Tipton said Tuesday they want the park to be more inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families after Odom was asked to reverse her shirt when they visited Dollywood Splash Country next to the Pigeon Forge amusement park. The story was first reported by WBIR-TV in Knoxville.
Dollywood spokesman Pete Owens said on Tuesday that Dollywood is open to all families, but their dress code policy is to ask people with clothing or tattoos that could be considered offensive to change clothes or cover up.

OMG, your comment cracked me up. lololololol
>>”Nasty! I would just like her covered up cause shes gross!”<<
There is a difference between covering a tightly cropped (pointy) head and being hidden. One is a matter of tact, one is a matter of life and death.
I don’t want to see her man arms just like I don’t want to see Michelle Obama’s. That doesn’t mean I want either woman to wear a Niqab or Burqa. To compare that is silly.

That sure looks like a man on the right.
not really, to some it comes naturally....
her hate, just "effervesces"...
*sorry...for the hurt eyes / "tossed" foodstuffs.*
It was an inappropriate shirt - has nothing to do with “inclusiveness.” They should not have been wearing that in a family oriented theme park in front of families and children. That’s the bottom line. The park has the right to ask for common decency on the part of its guests - with an emphasis on the fact they are guests. Unless they have evidence that anyone else would have been permitted to wear clothing with inappropriate phrases on it besides them, they have no case.
Man hands?
Man hands?
I will have to sleep with the lights on, rocking back and forth and crying hysterically.
Who has the photo “That which is seen cannot be unseen?”
