P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend in Texas.
First of all, it's not in any 'profit-seeking' companies best interests to track this sort of thing. They want "everyone's" money.
If the Islamics descend upon your park (assuming they are minding themselves, no protests, no chanting, ect.), and your sign says "xxxxx welcomes Allah Akbar's University", you have just associated yourself with this group. Furthermore, you may lose sales to people like us, who may see this sign and decide to go somewhere else.
The parks are intended to provide amusement, rides and fun. That is all; and that's all they want. It's basic capitolism - maximize profits. Would you want the park to say "Today we are x% white, y% black, z% hispanic, and w% Asian, religions break down into these categories a% Christian, b% Athiestic, c% Wiccan, d% Buddist, etc, etc."
How would you respond if you were asked at the gate the following questions:
Are you homosexual?
Are you sexually attracted to young children?
What religion best describes your background?
Did you bring your domestic partner?
and so on, and so forth.
These lines of questions are personal, and are frankly an invasion of your rights to privacy. The only question a park has the right to ask is "How to you intend to pay for your ticket?".
Well I see the usual suspects on the thread. The libertine...ahh...or whatever they are bashing the folks
who actually believe they have the right to
pass the word about the "fags" [as another poster put it] and to avoid the place...permanently.
So what's wrong w excercising one's RIGHT to being discriminating about what one chooses to avoid? Walter Williams, and myself, were quite discriminating in choosing our wives and our neighborhoods.
Sounds like the neo-leftists are alive and well on FR.
Swish on fellas since you seem to think deviance and
evil is a good thing.
Let's legalize murder too...wouldn't want to infringe on anybody's rights now would we.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would expect your statement to be true. As a Texan, there are certain forms of behavior I expect in a public establishment; and (to the best of my knowledge) this is not arbitrarily enforced. If the rules are broken, it is incumbent upon the park to either eject the violator, or bring charges against him/her. To anything less would be to encourage this behavior and be seen as promoting it. Given the relatively large sum of capitol Six Flags invests in maintaining a safe and fun family orientated image; I would expect that your assumptions would be true.
Great letter. Thanks!
Yes, they do. Despicable.
The one on the left isn't Bergler.
I have not personally been to a Gay Day at a park (have you?). But I have checked various websites orientated around Disney holiday planning. Among them are posts of heterosexual visitors who had their families at DisneyWorld during Gay Days. The statements I read (mousesavers.com is a really good site for money saving strategies and reviews) from people who were there, say that unless you KNEW that it was Gay Days, you wouldn't notice it.
But, again; you may check the Six Flags website (www.sixflags.com/parks/fiestatexas/index.asp) to your heart's content. You will not find mention of Gay Days at all. Same thing with DisneyLand, DisneyWorld, Magic Mountain or Busch Gardens. If a homosexual group decides to call, and reserve blocks of rooms at the park; the park has no choice but to accept the reservations. Whether it's a church group, a high school event, a class reunion, or even NAMBLA. The park has no legal options but to accept the reservations. Whether they agree with the group, despise the group or are totally neutral; the laws of the land are quite clear.
Now, if only we could find a way to prosecute the homo event's sponsors for conspiracy to commit public lewdness...
OK so you are willing to say that Disney had never sued anyone for using their name, right?
You have 100% of my support in this.
However, if I were the General Manager of this park; I would already be doing this as a matter of self-preservation. A GM position at a park pays big, with bonus's paid for increasing revenues. One way to blow a career and a major-league bonus is to tolerate behavior that drives sales away.
Be specific please.
If I name my 7-11 stand "Walt Disney World Pop and Gas", yes I will find myself in violation of copyright laws. If I use Mickey, Minnie or any Disney trademark, I will be sued.
However, if I state that "Hodar's filling station is 2 miles past Walt DisneyWorld on Highway 5", this would not be actionable. If I say that group x will meet at the Port Orleans Resort, at Walt DisneyWorld (super resort, BTW!), again, I have not committed crime. This is EXACTLY what the gay organizations are doing.

The Gay Day would be a day that you might not want to allow your 5 year old boy to use the men's bathrooms since homosexuals tend to use public bathrooms for their own reasons. It would seem better to inform the public --- let people make their own decisions.Exactly. And can you imagine the grief of the parents having to deal with their kids seeing this stupid parade? If I was a parent and bought tickets to this cra* that day NOT KNOWING what's going on, I'd demand my money back and take the kids home, then tell management I would NEVER bring the kids back again. Six Flags isn't using good judgment allowing this.
Texas Penal Code
§ 43.23. OBSCENITY.
(c) A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he:
(1) promotes or possesses with intent to promote any obscene material or obscene device; or
(2) produces, presents, or directs an obscene performance or participates in a portion thereof that is obscene or that contributes to its obscenity.
Texas law makes violation of the public lewdness statutes, of which an obscene public performance is, punishable as a "state jail felony" (just below 3rd degree)
Among the items defined in the lewdness statute as punishable, in general, "patently offensive" and "deviate" acts including specifically what is commonly called groping of the sexual organs and public forms of sodomy, which is indeed still illegal in Texas despite the supreme court's action against our other sodomy law. In short, Texas law technically authorizes the arrest and felony prosecution of a wide range of lewd and obscene activities that happen openly and regularly at most homosexual "pride" events and that, given their history at other theme parks, will likely occur at Six Flags as well.
From the article, it is Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, Texas. From the article:"Gay Day at Six Flags" takes place one day prior to the Gay Pride Parade in Oak Lawn [Dallas suburb] which itself brings in tens of thousands of people. Many of the people in town for the Gay Pride Parade also attend "Gay Day at Six Flags."
sado masochistic perverts shouldn't be allowed in public theme parks or parks period especially around kids. Disgusting chained and dog owners don't even put a pad lock on their dogs chain collar. Shows how much real dogs are more evloved than these creatures. I bet they don't have real jobs, more like drug peddlers/abusers
I understand the dilemma. I wonder if they might be well-advised to post a sign at the ticket sales counters that there is a NON-Six Flags sponsored "Gay Day" September 18th and that way ticket buyers could THEN decide whether to go in or not. That way, "buyer beware" notice had been given.
