I wish there was an equivalent of "speaking slowly" when it comes to typing so that people can understand:


The lesbians aren't saying they should have the right to "violate the rules."

In fact, they did what they were asked to do.

Instead, they are asking that Dollywood be more sensitive and fair to its patrons. Dollywood's arbitrary decision that "gay = offensive" is what the rub is. NOT that the lesbians think their "freedom of speech" or "right to be political" was violated.

They are "asking for changes" .... which they are fully within THEIR right to do, as patrons and customers of a PRIVATE BUSINESS.

From the article:

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.


Oh my GAWD! Stop the presses! These evil lezzies are out to tell private companies what they can and cannot do!

While I understand a private business can conduct whatever dress code they wish to have, I don't see what's so non-family friendly about "Marriage is so gay"
