They don't need to throw a specific party just for gay people it's simply unnecessary as it is a controversial topic for many as should be obvious by the small sample response in this thread. Would you all be in support of a resort throwing catholic weekend? What about hetero weekend? I would doubt it...you'd call them bigots. You can't compare jack Daniels weekend where killington is partnering with another private business on the same scale as hosting a weekend centered around social issue in the country today

Gets back to the question about Killington doing this for profit and not for pride. No one is commenting on the fact that Killington is doing this to increase their bottom line. If Killington thought this would cost them revenue, they never would have done this event. Maybe Killington should be boycotted that weekend for getting involved in what is a political debate for profit.

It's the second one, they must have made money on the first one... Killington has welcomed specific groups with special events in the past, outside of the LGBT. College weeks (two college weeks with activities). Triathletes (triathlon). Wine and beer enthusiasts (Beer and wine festivals). Religiophiles (Easter services, egg hunts). Women (women specific camps and clinics). Cycling events, motorcycle events, and on and on. Most of which have nothing to do with skiing, except that all these folks ski.

Are you offended that college kids get special treatment and have two weeks of special events just for them? Why?

None of those events are being shoved down our thoats on a daily basis. That's the main opposition to this event, it's part of what is being forced upon us on a daily basis.

Is this why your posts are so hateful and obnoxious, you are just hoping to get attention?

“Oh. Okay, Can I get some ice cream?”

Inapropriate public displays of affection happen every weekend at Killington and are no more likely to be near where kids are during this LGBT weekend than they are during any other weekend.

ya sure?

IMO no different than the Jack Daniels Girls, the pimps and hos party, the mini skirt party, skimpy bikinis at pond skimming, etc etc.

Sure you might see a couple of dudes making out at the after party at the outback, but no different than a dude a chick making out then either... and I'm not likely to have my kids at the outback / wobbly / pickle late night regardless of there being a primarially hetro or homo sexual crowd..

yep same thing:





















note NONE of these pics are late night at a bar...

Huh? Please 'splain me. How is K's alleged pride weekend being forced down your throat on a daily basis?

As I'm not sure I understand your point, this may not be relevant, but: it can easily be argued that obnoxious/misbehaving college students do a LOT more damage to the community than gays. Way more.
