The article doesn't mention the gender reveal party at all.

Oak Glenn, Glenn Ivy, I’m easily confused. There is a nudist colony at one of them. Used to joke about it when playing in the cardroom at nearby Lake Elsinore. Oh yeah, it’s called the Glen Eden Sun Club.

El Dorado Fire was caused by mishap during gender reveal party in Yucaipa; 7,000 acres burned amid evacuations

by: Kristina Bravo, John Fenoglio
Posted: Sep 6, 2020

The wildfire that has burned more than 7,000 acres in Yucaipa and surrounding areas was caused by an explosive used during a gender reveal party, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The state agency said the fire started at El Dorado Ranch Park in Yucaipa on Saturday morning, when a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device at the party sparked the flames. The wildfire broke out at 10:23 a.m., spreading to areas further north and triggering mandatory evacuations, officials said.

Can’t fix stupid. Well you can, it’s just not socially acceptable.

Why resort to anything so logical as “It’s A Boy!” or “It’s A Girl” cards from Hallmark? Why not go big and burn thousands of acres to feed your arrogance and need for attention? (These people...! Who raised them to be so stupid?)

I had to look up what in the h a “gender reveal party” is.

So now folks need a party to announce to friends the sex of their infant in the womb!!!!!!!!

Our cultural has become party & “celebration” insane. Some even have “graduation ceremony” for KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

My G-d!!!!!!!! Who can call that an “accomplishment” as if someone CANNOT “graduate” from kindergarten?????

It’s ALL insane!!!!!

I suppose that some would like to know so they can target their baby shower gifts for a boy or a girl.

But a party to announce this to friends and family and neighbors is a bit much.

“But a party to announce this to friends and family and neighbors is a bit much.”

It’s is more than a bit much, it’s growing insanity, where “celebrations” are made up events, no different than “Valentines Day” - invented by the greeting card industry - when LIFE itself is supposed by celebrated every day, just by living well and good.

I think you are too king. I think a “gender reveal” “party is just stupid and just an EXCUSE to have a party.

One of the most tragic articles I’ve seen to date was the woman who invented the gender reveal party coming out to say she regretted it ... and having a different party because her child has decided it is the opposite gender.

There was a minor earthquake on the day our daughter gave birth to her first child. There’ll be stories told on that child’s birthday...forever.

Imagine being the kid whose parents set the neighborhood on fire during their gender reveal part. They’ll never live that down...in a bad way.

Johnny Cash once started one of these fires and most people are either unaware of it or never brought it up in the last 20 years of his lifetime.

All of this “embrace me” atmosphere.

After the election how about “we” promote the notion of public display of how “you” voted.

Come out as a Republican or come out as a Democrat (after the election so they can’t change your vote).

This “tolerance” I hear from the Left would instantly disappear. Name calling, assault, doxing, vandalism, and more for anyone who sets off a “red” smoke bomb in their backyard.
