Not for pathetic, mindless individuals to flaunt their ignorance. this forum, if I remember correctly, is for Cedar Point discussion. If something about that offends you, start looking at what's wrong with yourself. There always have been, and always will be gay men and women visiting Cedar Point, and every other amusement park around the globe, every single day of operation. (Granted, some people -regardless of sexuality- go WAY too far with PDA's. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, for you, or about you. How, specifically, will it affect you? Two people holding hands or kissing is between them. The world we live in today has bigger problems than someone's sexual preference. I'm downright shocked by the lack of respect for human rights by some of you. do you read what you've written before you click 'reply'? This is by far, the most ignorant discussion I've ever seen on this website. And I think "Gay Day" can do harm by perpetuating stereotypes held by the ignorant.īut having said all that, I say good for them! I'm not saying I have a problem with Gay day, I just dont see a point to it in a time where homosexuality is accepted by most people. Cause I know a lot of homosexuals who regret the fact that Gay days like these associate cross-dressing, tight leather-wearing, etc, with all homosexuals, which obviously isn't true. I will say this-they should have an "Exhibitionist Day," not a Gay day. I just don't see the point (no pun intended). and in this day an age most people (albeit not all, sadly) are completely comfortable with others' sexual preference. I mean, its not like the rides need to run differently for those who are homosexual, or like food needs to be prepared in a certain way. I personally don't see why a specific day is needed for those who happen to be homosexual. *** This post was edited by MDOmnis 6:19:24 PM ***įirst of all, in regards to the 'protest' aspect-i'd like a link or something to back that up.but anyway:
I don't think they'd get away with having a picket line at the main gate though so I'm not sure what you mean by protesting. If they are doing something more than going to the park and having a good time, then I might have a problem with that.
Perhaps others need to do the same.Įdit: I don't know what you mean by protesting. I'll admit that I felt a bit odd at the beginning of last summer, but I have to be honest and say that probably one of my best friends from CP was gay, so I definitely think I learned to be a lot more tolerant and understanding. It really doesn't make any difference though as most people are just there to do their jobs and have fun just like everyone else. I am not one of them, but to say the CP employees blow the 1 in 10 theory out of the water would be an understatement. Not to freak you guys all out, but every day is gay day at Cedar Point! Probably close to half the employees are gay. It isn't an offical park sponsered event, but yes, there are a lot of gay people there that day. I just thought they all happened to go on that day. I wasn't aware that is was to protest fathers day and I'm not sure if that's accurate.
