I think Dollywood was one of the parks that actually forced the homos to stop using the logos of the park.
Disney gives group rates, special reception/parties, and hotel blocks.
However they continue to refuse to warn mothers and fathers that homosexals are having a homo-sex day at the park.
Tell me about it. Being out of the loop on gay activities, we made reservations last year for DisneyWorld for the first week of June. I accidently found out and was able....with a lot of trouble...to cancel everything. My children will see perverts soon enough without us paying hardearned money to take them to an exhibition of them. And I did not change the reservations - but cancelled them forever.
However they continue to refuse to warn mothers and fathers that homosexals are having a homo-sex day at the park.
Please do some thinking on your own. Disney has NO CHOICE but to sell tickets, rooms and hotel blocks to gay organizations. If they sell these things to Black groups, High School Bands, Class Re-Unions, Family Re-Unions or Avon meetings; they MUST provide this service to any group of individuals that requests it.
Would Disney be sued if they posted a sign at the front gate that said "We have a lot of Blacks in here today, folks", or how about "You may want to re-think your visit today, because we have a lot of Jews in here", or how about "Can't stand Asians? Well, we gottem here, so you can drive home safely". We both know what would happen, don't we? Disney would be sued into bankruptcy. Same thing with Gay groups. They can not discriminate ... period.
Disney can not do, nor say anything about any group; lest they be sued for discrimination. Disney loses on all fronts here, folks. I'm pretty sure they are even less happy about it than you are. Why? These things lower park revenue, and corporations are all about increasing (not decreasing) their public perception and their revenue line.
Agreed on this one. But, if you stop and think it through, the Dollywood logo is a copyright. Dollywood owns this, and NO ONE may use it without explicit permission by Dollywood.
The same thing goes for DisneyWorld. Mickey is a trademark, and is copyrighted; thus the 'Gay Days' are free to state that they are going to meet at a park; but if they use the logo, they can be sued. They may be perverts, but they aren't stupid. Their fliers and thier websites can mention that they are meeting at the park, they can state the park name and date; they can provide driving instructions, and include promotional pictures of the parks. But, Disney owns the logo's; so if they publish Goofy and Mickey in an unnatural act, they can and will likely be sued.
Every corporation has a choice, either fight and protect your copyright at every turn, or abandon it as public domain. Remember when Disney got some bad press for making a day care facility paint over some Disney characters that were on the inside of the facility? Once Disney knew that unauthorized pictures were being used, they had a choice of either stopping it, or abandoning the copyright forever.
