February 28, 200817 yr There are 633 comments on the website after this article, and only 632 or so are bigoted or closed-minded. Yeah most of the people who post on that website, as well as the Sandusky newspaper site, are usually those that have no life or WAY too much time on their hands. They hide behind an anonymous screen name with their bigoted, (often) right-wing viewpoints. This is not an honest representation of the NC Ohio area. However, being a member of the LGBT community and growing up there, I have noticed that people tend to be more liberal on the economic issues and more conservative on the social issues). But, every once in a while you will see an LGBT couple walking down the street holding hands. :clap:
June 4, 200817 yr Fitchville campground thriving under new ownership By MARY LISA BOOSE - Reflector Staff Writer | Friday May 30 2008, 11:43am http://www.norwalkreflector.com/articles/2008/05/31/news/local/iq_560821.txt FITCHVILLE - After the initial firestorm of controversy with the news that Freedom Valley Campground would be the state's first all-male campground catering to gays, the new owners were a little concerned about the community's reaction. Their sexual orientation wasn't a big deal in Cleveland, but they had chosen a rural, conservative area and a gay campground in Fitchville was a big change. A successful opening this spring, including about 200 campers over Memorial Day weekend, has allayed those concerns and they now looking forward to adding to the local economy...
June 4, 200817 yr This made me chuckle! Bears, Leather and Wigs, Oh My! The site also said updates will be posted as the camping season nears. This appears to be "too much" camping and not enough "camp" to me. Cute idea though.
