"Well, when is Christian Days at Disney World? Been to any Christian "outfests" lately?
"
Actually, there are several at Disney World, each year, capped by their Christmas celebration, complete with choirs singing religious Christmas songs. You might look at their site and their calendar.
As for Christian "outfests," I attended one such, termed as a "revival," this year in the Twin Cities. Lots of people there "outing" themselves as Christians.
You see, people belong to different affinity groups, and they're proud of their affinities. Everyone from Undertakers to Auto Mechanics join groups which promote their professions, hold conventions, and even have ski outings.
So, this is a "gay days" at some ski resort. OK. I'm sure church groups have also made block reservations at the same resort. I know that churches here in Minnesota do that sort of thing at the ski areas in this state and in Wisconsin. So, you have "Lutheran day" at some ski resort. Happens all over the place.
It's just that you don't like gays, so you don't think they should have "gay days" anywhere. That's fine. I'm not gay, and I don't care if they have a "gay days" somewhere I might be going. I just don't care. I don't care if there's a big church group there, either, and I'm an atheist.
I let people live their lives...as long as they let me live mine. I can guarantee I'm not going to turn gay if I'm skiing on the same mountain as a bunch of gay people. I can equally guarantee that I'm not going to turn Christian if I ski on the same day as some Christian group.
Either would be a non-event to me.
I think the 250 - 300 people figure is in reference to the number of gay people that participated in the event, not the total number of people that skied that week.
um, er, you said pole....hahahah
Actually, I like a lot of people who have chosen to be homosexuals. So you are wrong in your assumption. However, I believe the Bible teaches homosexuality is sinful and I don't believe condoning sin is ever right. Simple as that.
Does this mean that during the rest of the season gays are not allowed to ski there? If not the I demand a "Heterosexual Awareness Ski Week" as equal time.
OK, try Googling:
Christian Ski Retreat
Church Ski Trip
Looks like there's lots going on...
Try Google on:
Disney Night of Joy
Actually there IS gay rugby, gay rodeo too.
There are a lot more Christians than there are gays, yet you don't see Telluride going out of its way to Block out and sponsor a Christian Week. Why do you suppose that is?
But won't the presence of so many flamers just melt all the snow?
Head?
There's a Disneyworld at Telluride now?
How diverse is the Telluride community?
"There's a Disneyworld at Telluride now?"
Someone else brought up the Gay Days at Disneyworld, so I tossed that one in.
...and there's a lot of those gay dollars to be had. Gays often have quite a bit of disposable income. (No breeding, less expenses!) And since they often have quite a bit of taxable income, they're beginning to see the logic in voting for Republicans. You can't take very many ski-n-sex trips to CO if The Swimmer has taken a big chunk of your money away.

you'll never see it.
I knew about the rodeo, but RUGBY? Must be the influence of the Brits. Can't imagine the Aussies swishing through a scrum.
From a marketing point of view, Christians, as a group, are not distinct enough to be targetted. How do you put together a marketing plan that will attract both evangelicals and Catholics, for example?
Homosexuals, on the other hand, are much more easily targetted by marketing. Plus, based on their average level of education, disposable income etc., they're a pretty attractive group from a marketting perspective.
"It was unauthorized, and we felt he really didn't represent Telluride or the Telluride ski resort," said Maryhelyn Kirwan, ski resort spokeswoman.
Since when do you need authorization to have a link to another web site on your own site?
