    This is a park, not a public sidewalk.

    If someone was wearing a shirt that said "I hate fags", I'd expect the park to ask that person to reverse their shirt. Even though the person could have simply been expressing their hatred for cigarettes.

    This is what most gays set out to do - offend and then stage a show over the "discrmination" they are a victim of


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    Yep, reminds me of a few shitbags where I used to post. Do something to make a scene and then scream abuse when people react.

    Even other gays are like "can't yall just shut the fuck up?"

    It's THEIR property, they can do whatever they want. What if they just woke up one Monday morning and said "we don't feel like opening to the public today" and you wanted to go that day? Would you sue them ? It's THEIR property.

    and the liberal media will be right there to cover the "story"

    They will not mention it was planned and staged of course

    Reminds me of some mods where I used to post. Ignore the instigator and place all blame on those who reacted. And then of course the majority of the posters were like the majority of Americans are, just stand around seeing what is going on, but refuse to say anything.

    Well my friend, it is time that we as Americans start standing up and saying "no that isn't right, you don't get to shit all over people then cry and whine when those people react."

    I think people are getting fed up enough to do exactly that.

    The vibe here is completely different , I can tell that almost immediately.

    And we're agreed. Liberals are mad because the average American is FINALLY waking up.

    The Dems worst fear is a majority of informed voters will turn out to vote. Even after the ass kicking they took in the last election, they still act like they have all the answers to our problems

    Luckily for them (and sadly for us), the average American remains an idiot.

    Are you really trying to compare "marriage is so gay" to "I hate fags"? Really?

    Or maybe we let them have white days and reserve negro day for the hottest day of the year...it's THEIR property.

    Doesn't sound like they're just making it up.
    but their dress code policy is to ask people with clothing or tattoos that could be considered offensive to change clothes or cover up.
    ...
    Odom said they understand the park can have dress code policies, but she felt Dollywood needed to make their policies clear and provide better training for employees when determining what is considered offensive.
    Then she shouldn't be upset when asked to abide by it.

    They weren't banned from the property.

    Dollywood is a private enterprise, right?

    Give me one good reason they can't enforce a dresscode without regards to whether you or I might agree with it...

    I actually think they SHOULD be able to do so if they wish. It would be stupid, and they would lose a lot of business. But it's their business to lose if they wish.
