    Johnny Positive: I, too, have experienced homophobia here in DC…but, never witnessed it written into scripts for public performance! PS. When did the “unofficial gay capital of the U.S.” migrate from San Fran to West Hollywood?

    It never ceases to amaze me how backward segments of Pittsburgh can be (i.e. Tyler Tyler)…If making Kennywood a more well-rounded and politically-correct environment for all “ruins it forever” and, the writer doesn’t patronize the park any more – that will make it all the better for me, my SUPER sister-in-law and her family. That way there will be one less guest at the park to expose us to their underlying homophobia. Sadly, I – and others like me – have given up on “changing” Pittsburgh for the better…it was easier to contribute to the brain and cultural-drain of the region by simply moving to a major metro (I suggest you research cities attempting to draw a “creative class” to them and you will inherently see a mention of GLBT populations as amongst the “most wanted” to rehabilitate stalling economies). Granted, in major metros, we deal with an inflated cost of living and congestion…but, also enjoy the freedom of knowing we have less of the challenges caused by daily subversive ignorance and discrimination in housing, employment and general every day living (like a Dive Show at a local amusement park).
