Members of the Ku Klux Klan say they plan to stage a protest outside the Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., on Saturday, where several thousand gay and lesbian parkgoers are expected for a ''Gay Day'' event. About 20 protesters are expected.
Read more from The Tennessean.
Remember the President wants to add a discrimination clause to the US constitution regarding marriage. He is not much better than a KKK member himself.
What makes me sad is that the KKK claims to be a Christian organization. If they'd actually pick up a Bible, they'd see that everything they believe is *completely* opposite of what Jesus taught.
No need to bring Presidential politics into this. However, IF you want to compare people in politics... why not start with Senator Robert Byrd (a Democrat) from West Virginia... an acutall living, breathing former Klansman.
My personal view on this issue is this... (and I am not affraid to say it).
If I know a park is having a Gay Day (official or unofficial)... I will schedule my visit for ANOTHER time (sorry, I'm not that "liberal"... I'm "tolerant"... but not "embracing")
If I know that the Klan is going to be demonstrating at a park... I will schedule my visit for ANOTHER time (I'm a proud conservative... but regardless of what madame Hillary may think, not all conservatives are of the right wing extremist, hate spewing type. The far right scares me as much as the far left.)
If I know that it is a Gay Day (official or unofficial) at a park, AND the Klan will be demonstrating at the park... I am not sure I even want to be in the same state, let alone be at the park on that day.
(of course, it may be fun just to go and watch the fire works errupt between these two groups... And it may be a good time for "walk ons" for the rides considering many people there will be to busy standing nose to nose with each other and hurling what ever propaganda their side choses to shout in an attempt to shove both of their agenda's into the other's face)*** This post was edited by SLFAKE 5/19/2004 12:19:19 PM ***
Yes, I concur that it is truly sad that these bottom feeders of society still exist and spread hatred. And that they do it under the guise of Christianity is even more disturbing, I think.
The Klan can demonstrate in public. I'm OK with that, and it's their right to do so. The rest of us have the right to call them stupid and make fun of them. It all works out!
Repulican, Democrate, a bigot and an racist is just that.
Super7: We are in definatel disagreement over this one. I'm letting it stand there.
Wow. I was just thinking the same thing. freaky. But Martin would have just been shot in the @$$ again.
Yes, unfortunately, the Klan is still alive and active(I live in WV, and know Klansmen, but hey, everybody knows everbody here). Its so funny, though, there isn't a KKK in the area that I live in because the population in this part of the state is predominantly black. Go a few miles up the road and its all white, and there is a Klan.
But, hey, stupid is as stupid does. Hideing behind a sheet will get you nowhere. The Klan on Bad Boys 2 is exactly how they act, tobacco chew and all. Disgusting!
If there are any Christians reading, know this: it's not our job to "convert" gay people or make sure they know what they're doing is sinning. It's our job to spread the gospel message and live our lives right. If there's anything else to be done, God will take care of it.
/shakes head
Im totally against what the kkk is doing in there protest, but lets not kid ourselves or be in denial, both groups are there with a agenda in mind.
I have been to gays days at wdw in the past and while the majority of attendee's were there to have a good time, you did have a segment that wore the same clothes so as to draw attention to themselves and were acting in a in your face manner with public displays of a sexual nature meant to draw attention to themselves.
CP ismyhome: Who's trying to force anything on YOU? And who is that you are that we as a minority group need to worry about pooping on your parade?
After reading a few of these posts it's pretty clear which side everyone is on. You either support the KKK or those like them - the president, focus on the (straight) family, Confused women for america and countless other hate groups, or you advocate a 'liberal' or fair lifestyle that doesn't exclude persons because they are percieved as different from you or believe differently than you.
And what is so wrong with their "agenda"? They are showing off their pride. Lastly, no one cares....(really... we don't) if you choose not to attend for whatever reason. The point is already made, and I doubt anyone will change their minds because of one less person in the queue!

Im surpised that the current administration has not tied this discrimination agenda into 9/11 somehow as that is what is done to get support of their other unethical policies. Countless speaches bring up 9/11 so this administration can gain the support or their policies by fear, instead of logic.

No sonny, that would be a complete shock to my other half. I am in a frat though, and those intitiation processes ...well I'll stop there :)
Forget knowing everybody knowing everybody in WV... isn't everybody related to everybody too?
(sorry... easy WV joke... couldn't resist)
Remember that not all gays are "sex starved" flamers and not all Christians are "war loving hate mongers". It is a shame that a small percentage of the population creates a stereotype for the entire group. I would be more concerned at Terrorists blowing up Cinderella 's Castle at the "Mouse House"
Ignore them all and try to enjoy your day at the park.
