In my opinion, I would have similar feelings about someone deciding not to go to "Support the Troops" Day at Disneyland because they don't agree with the war. Even though you may not support the war, doesn't mean you can't show support and respect for those individuals and families whose lives have been affected by it. After all, they don't get to choose which war to fight. And if you can't find it in yourself to show compassion for that, why not just enjoy the day at Disneyland regardless. Still trying to figure out what are the negative consequences of being gay.

As for me i think all gay people should be allowed to be at disneyland, but only if they are cast members. Because even though 90 percent of the cast members are gay, they aren't your obnoxious gay type, but the nice, thoughtful and sensitive gay type, that i can push around and they are grateful for my attention. Of course, i'm talking about gay men, who have a thing for older heterosexual males like me. As for the lesbians, well, we must do away with them immediately. The lesbian women ignore me way too much.

Well, I don't know if this is a "moldy oldie" or not, but it's ever occurred to most of us to feel as superior as you apparently do. Enjoy your self-imposed isolaton. Better yet, come over to World Events and try your act out there.

He would go if it there were less than that but not more? The thread actually has been interesting and rather civil...But sadly the original poster has felt no need to come back in and make a comment...Sorry, I can't help but feel that troll concept here...Let this thread have a nice normal death as opposed to one that typically would get it shut down discussing this issue....I think we said everything that could be said but never answered the original poster's question....As if they were really interested....It is nice to know though as each year passes this issue become less and less of an issue regardless of which Disney park is concerned...I hope that means we as a whole are making some type of progress in dealing with each other as human beings....

Originally Posted By Bruiser Well, I think Ed wrote that tongue in cheek. At least I hope so. But you're right, this thread should die. I'm puzzled as to why it stayed here for so long as opposed to getting moved elsewhere.

Just kidding but I am the worst typist in the world when it comes to correct grammar and spelling...But I do feel that is something that is very important...My saying such is so OT but after living with an English teacher for thirty years I have learned some important things about correct use of the language...What I have learned is truly appreciated....

Enough of that....I really like what you do according to your webpage...I hope that someday I could discuss with you what you are actually involved in...I find it most fascinating...Different story, different time....

To be honest I’m also getting tired of the PC claptrap and the homosexual (and the other various) movement/agendas ( I’m equal opportunity) and the pathos brand recaps that have long since lost its tread. I could really careless gay strait bi transgender other but it’s the same thing the hypocrisy of hurt feeling’s lack of appreciation and not knowing what it’s like to feel the pain of the gay (or insert your personal favorite downtrodden minority) lifestyle. What about the other patrons at the park and their feelings and their pain. Lot’s of folks save all year to have a memorable vacation with their families and some people don’t care about their feelings and to add insult to injury the red shirt crowd is pushing a sexual agenda on them and their families. Is it the chip or is it arrogance or maybe ignorance? Or could it be who gives a crap because if they don’t like it we’ll just some throw out some blanket stereotype’s? (That’ll shut the breeder’s up.) I don’t fear nor do I hate or am I ignorant just tired why I’ve gotten so much gay that I’ve become grumpy! Come on people we are not living in Selma circa 1962 and as of yet I haven’t seen the footage of the police dog’s tearing at chaps and fire hose’s spraying the guy’s off after a hard day of marching. So again a day a Disneyland in red shirts with trite slogan has very little worth for the “causeâ€! Go have fun with your family but leave the hypocrisy at home. Unless of course what’s being said is if you are gay you can’t have fun without a red shirt emblazon w/trite slogan.–P On another note yes anytime the RPV /UAV thing is really interesting

That's what happens when you leave your house. You might have to see people who aren't exactly like yourself. Life is tough, ain't it?

Originally Posted By patrickegan “NEWSFLASH: patrickegan must be rasist. Only racists use the term "breeder". Right, patrick, isn't that what YOU said?" Actually mele I got the “breeders†gem off this very site in a thread touting the virtues of the upcoming “gay day†event! “Bummer. That's what happens when you leave your house. You might have to see people who aren't exactly like yourself. Life is tough, ain't it?†Thanks again for making my point!!! “If you believe that witnessing gay people having fun with each other in an amusement park is equally traumatic as being legally inferior, being subject to rejection all your life based on something you can't control, and enduring pervasive messages of hate then, yes, you are ignorant.†No one said gay people couldn’t have fun! "Unless of course what’s being said is if you are gay you can’t have fun without a red shirt emblazon w/trite slogan." Actually you know it’s funny we have almost the same problem, it’s with having to enduring pervasive messages of sexuality pushed on me and my family. So by your own admission it appears that you might be ignorant but I won’t rush to any snap judgments till all of the facts are in. -P
