Amusement Parks

SANDSUSKY, Ohio — An amusement park in Ohio is canceling a wedding contest after a gay couple organized a protest against the promotion because it excluded same-sex couples.

A gay couple is suing California’s Great America amusement park, claiming that park employees doctored a photograph of them, then displayed it publicly and captioned with a gay slur.

Entertainer and theme-park entrepreneur Dolly Parton has issued an apology to a lesbian couple who claimed they were discriminated against when an employee at the Tennessee theme park “Dollywood” told one of the women that her “Marriage is so Gay” t-shirt was offensive to other visitors.
