There is no problem with differing opinions.
That was not the case with the thread that was deleted- it was started as a diatribe from someone with an axe to grind about something else, not an honest post offering a difference in opinion.
Anyone who has observations/opinions about Gay Days is very welcome and encouraged to share them, whether they agree with Pete's opinions or not! (Just do so respectfully and in compliance with our general guidelines, of course.) We'd welcome someone starting a NEW thread on the topic, if you like.
I'm going to close this thread now.
