Out in The Park, June 15

This sunday is Father's Day and we all know what that means! I will be there - but won't be wearing a red shirt (why do they always choose red? It's my favorite color but it's not the kind of color you want in the summer heat.)

Anyway, I'm commenting on someone here who, two years ago, shared a story where he observed two men making out in line and a family with a young boy asking his dad "why are those two guys doing that?" or something to that extent. This reader did state that he's not a gay basher but also doesn't think that such PDA was appropriate and that the ride op's should have stopped it. Well ... let me just clear the air on this.

In all of my years of being a roller coaster fan, I have seen MANY, MANY straight couples making out in line. Has anyone written articles and blogs about THEM: No! Of course not. If you're going to do it, then guess what, we who have someone special are going to do the same thing, too! I believe it's called a "free country" [even though it's currently being run by a fascist dictator with a 4th grade education.]

I can understand that if it's soft-core porn type making out, yes, there's no need for that - gay or straight. But a simple sign of affection: there's nothing wrong with that. And hey, guess what, those of us in the GLBT movement are not stopping. Until the day when we can live openly, honestly and with every last equal right established, events such as this will continue to happen and continue to be a voice.

On a lighter note....

As a former RAPTOR crew member, I better see this years crew hitting interval. They've been sloppy every summer since 05. Pick up the pace!

My Best,

JR

Oh man this thread is going everywhere fast.

Or nowhere.

Really? http://www.kicentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13294

I think this thread should be closed due to the fact that it comes across as a rant, which will get completely off topic, but I'll give my input anyway. I do think that two guys or two girls kissing each other in public is more indecent than a guy kissing a girl in public, due to the fact that the latter is normal behavior.

two years ago,

Exactly - What's that saying about sleeping dogs?

It's in the past, and a long time ago in the past at that.

'normal.'

I laugh. Either way, I find more humor/disgust watching these Ohioans eat.

Let's just stick to Cedar Point.
