Of course, city leaders would much rather pander to the gay lobby than try and attract the "traditional" tourist. That this happened in Columbus is no surprise.

So, they ended up 'accidentally' at TWO gay pride events?

[mwyounce]

How could I have known in advance that our hotel was in the midst of Gay Pride Weekend ... This experience, along with our visit this year to Disney World (also during Pride Day)

You talk about bad luck in vacation planning!!

My three children were treated to an eyeful of amorous behavior by the lesbians seated on a public bench, not 10 feet away from us and directly in front of the doors to the hotel.

Three years ago, I saw a guy get a BJ in broad daylight while he was lying on a hammock near the pool of one of the hotels at Disneyword. Oh, and he was getting it from a woman. My point is that poor taste and obscene behavior transends sexual orientation.

PICTURES ?!?!?!

My kids used to be on a neighborhood swim team. Just to keep up on swim team news, I asked a friend who still has kids on the team about team news.

Well, the team hired a new woman coach. Well, some of the kids saw the new coach making out with her female partner in the swimming pool parking lot.

I know the woman is no longer the coach because of other problems.

However, I would have been mad if a male coach would have been making out with his girlfriend in the parking lot.

There's a time and a place for affection, and a swimming pool parking lot after swim team practice is not the time or the place.

I was in Gavelston over the weekend and ended up at what I think was a Gay Bar during Happy Hour with my sister-in-law. It was more funny than anything else but then we did'nt have our children with us and the drinks were cheap!

This person and her entire family are obviously mean spirited right-wing Christian homophobes /scarcasism off

Relax, you got off easy. Next weekend is Satan's Holiday.

Here in the big city you don't have to wait for pride week to see that stuff. I find more bothersome, religious cult groups at my door with their conversion craper-ola

[CompSciGuy]

This smells like B.S., if Marie lives in Silver Spring, seeing lesbians make out should be nothing new to her, after all Silver Spring is just north of Takoma Park, where there is a large community of (incredibly liberal) Homosexuals. This letter smells like a fake, or a really pathetic attempt to make conservatives look bad.

Cheers,

I live in the Central Valley of California. A few years ago, Mrs. Othniel and I took our two boys (then 4 and 6) to San Diego. We found a hotel that was fairly centrally located, but not too pricey. Anyway, when we were moving our stuff up to our room, the guy downstairs came out with his hair all pulled back and started putting on makeup. Lotsa makeup.

Turned out it was a Diva-fest, or some such thing, that weekend in San Diego. The place a quite a few "flamers," as well as women who looked like they were from the male division of the pro-wrestling circuit. Questions from the boys ensued: "Why is that man putting on makeup?" My wife and I explained that they were dressing up for a play, or something like that, and they were satisfied. Now, my 10.5 year old brought it up during a discussion of "What does gay mean?", and my wife and I were able to explain to him about how some men don't like women. His response was one of disgust, for which I'm very thankful and proud.

Public display of Unnatural affection.

Homosexuals/lesbians attending these so called pride festivals have no sense of decency, decorum, morals, manners, or class for that matter.

Those events are about the exact opposite.
