Gay Day Gathering - CoasterBuzz

So I see this girl who is, by all measures, relatively large and, IMHO, not particularly attractive, wearing a NASCAR jacket with "VIAGRA" emblazoned across the back. Now, I'm not an attractive man by any stretch of the imagination so it's a bit unfair of me to pass judgement, but nonetheless, I ended up laughing for about 5 minutes at that.

You didn't hit on the Mullet did you? I hope you were wearing your proper mullet protection gear. ;)

Wow, it's funny to see how fast things get blown out of proportion here. LOL, although his original question has already been clarified.

SFMM always has a similar event in the fall as well. It's sponsored by Odyssey Adventures, this year on Sept. 26. It's like one of the events mentioned above, park closes at 6 like normal, then re-opens at 7 for the private party (though anyone can get in). I've found the lines to be really short (read: walk-on) until 10 or so (it's open til 1).

Why do I go??? Short lines and the ability to feel comfortable showing affection for someone while in a park.....no strange looks.....

CP's unofficial gay day is way different. The rest of the general public is still there, making it a totally different event, and one I was always happy to work during, but never carouse around the park.

But don't tell me you were surprised by it (out of proportion)...this flirts with a big issue and folks, myself included, get riled up over it.

Anyway, I agree with you. I should be more patient though...it has taken me a long time to get over my homophobia. You grow up in a society where calling someone gay is a bad thing...fighting words even, you find it completely acceptible. If it took my a while to really understand that it isn't, then why should I expect others to snap out of it during the course of a short discussion on a coaster enthusiast board?

Yeeeee Haaaaawwwww!

Sorry, can't do it...my wife reads my posts...(don't worry sweetie, I'm not like Rock Hudson....) ;)

OK, so you're not like Rock...are you like Bowie?

mOOSH - glad jf can take a joke ;)

I'd highly recommend traveling with Moosh, JF. After our first trip together in 2000, I was suddenly able to dress myself correctly, I gained the ability to decorate a room tastefully, and I can now distinguish between different Pet Shop Boys albums. VERY rewarding! ;-)

Although I listen to Bowie, aaand the occasional Prince tune....I enjoy dressing like a slob and decorating my room with beer posters. ;)

Actually, Bass, you left out a few things. We explored the local Nightlife, went to a Disco, found a nice quiet place to be Introspective, and I taught you to be Bilingual. You were on your best Behavior the whole time and I agree, not only was it Very rewarding but a great way to Release some stress.

Now, if you'll excuse me Please I must get back to work....

mOOSH [yes, I am getting work done today!]

And yah, with "Jan" in my name, I definitely have to be able to take a joke. ;)

Good idea, I should do some work too.

Actually, I did learn several dress/grooming tips from a friend in college who came out to me months later (and months after coming out to my then-SO, who it turns out could in fact keep a secret.)

I checked your profile pic, Brian...did you forgot some of those tips?

What about a MULLET day? I mean come on, white trailor trash, haven't bathed in a week and my wife has a long beard than I do - need days as well.

Actually the mullet is coming back in style. The newest fashion trend is "redneck". I just bought my first truckers' hat today at a thrift store, and am looking for some Burt Reynolds Glasses™. That's no joke either!

Anyhow, I think having Gay Days is a slap in the face to gay people. It's pointing a finger at them and telling them that they're strange enough to have their own day.

Amusement Parks aren't where you go to meet people... they're where you have a fun time with your friends. So there's really no need to distinguish between sexual preference anyways.

That would be easy. Business in the front of the park, party in the back of the park. HAHAHA GET IT?!
