Dollywood tells organizers to stop advertising Gay Day event
The Dollywood theme park in Tennessee, owned by country songbird Dolly Parton, has asked a gay and lesbian group to immediately stop advertising ''Gay Day at Dollywood'' for an upcoming event that attracted about 1,000 gays and lesbians last year. Dollywood spokesman Pete Owens said the request was a standard one sent out to anyone in regard to trademark violations. ''What are we supposed to say? 'I'm going to the theme park run by the woman with the big breasts'?'' asked organizer Michael Romanello, 56. Romanello says he sent out about 200 e-mails to friends on the East Coast yesterday urging them to head to Pigeon Forge for the May 22 event in a gesture of defiance.
