Dollywood park worker calls out guest over 'marriage is so gay' T-shirt

[BlueState]

A Knoxville same-sex couple are calling on Dollywood Splash Country to come up with more inclusive policies regarding guests after a park gatekeeper made one of them reverse a T-shirt whose message he found objectionable.

On July 9, Olivier Odom and Jennifer Tipton went to the Sevier County water park, which is beside Dollywood, with friends and the friends' 8- and 5-year-old daughters. Odom wore a T-shirt that said "Marriage is so gay" — intended to be a statement supporting same-sex marriage.

I've always found her to be rather liberal... :shrug:
