Thousands Of Gays Expected In Rhea County On Saturday
Thousands Of Gays Expected In Rhea County On Saturday

As many as 3,500 homosexuals and lesbians from across the country are expected in Dayton on Saturday for "Rhea County Gay Day."

There has been a large amount of press interest in the event, including a front page article Sunday in the Nashville Tennessean headlined "Vote On Gays Brings Dayton New Infamy."

However, organizers are having trouble finding sponsors or vendors.

Those putting on the Gay Day say they still are short some $5,000 for expenses, and there has been very little interest by vendors.

1. I love how we call them "gays." lol
And I loved this sentence:

"Those putting on the Gay Day say they still are short some $5,000 for expenses..."

How often do you see four words in succession that rhyme?

4. coulda been 5 or 6
If they held it in Canada.

Then it coulda been:

"Gay day aye?"

"Nay!"

"They say gay day may lay way?"

"Way?"

"Waaay."

(okay, I don't know what that means either)

2. Since there is only ONE (openly) gay citizen of that County...

... this is REALLY good news!

On edit... this is really the best part:

"A highlight is set to be a June Griffin impersonator contest. Mrs. Griffin is a Rhea County resident who is outspoken against gay causes."

And here is the object of such affection:


What a laudable thing to be outspoken against gay causes, when there is ONLY ONE GAY PERSON IN YOUR COUNTY. She'll be voting for Bush.

5. Interesting choice of location
Dayton was the site of the famous "monkey trial" when the good, upstanding christian citizens rose up to the fight the evil of evolution in schools.:eyes:

My father grew up in that county.
