NIMBY movement afoot on the “alternative livestyle lodge”
Posted By katie allison granju
The Roane County newspaper is reporting growing opposition to plans for a resort targeted at gay folks:
A quiet rumble. That’s the way zoning officer Kay Christopher described the public firestorm that’s starting to brew over a plan to bring an adult resort to Roane County.
“You know it’s about to hit,” Christopher said.
Christopher said her office has been bombarded with phone calls over the Rosebud Lodge.
The proposed resort and campground will cater to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Pictures on the Rosebud Lodge Web site –www.rosebudlodge.com – show same-sex couples, including two men kissing, two men sitting in a bath tub and one person who appears to be dressed in drag.

It appears that they may have changed their website. as far as I can tell, there is nothing related to LGBT activity on the site.
I also heard about this, on the news, and I wanted to see for myself. But there is nothing there to raise eyebrows.

This was part of the website before they changed it. As it says, “Not all is being revealed here on this Web Site, you will just have to come and see Rosebud Lodge for yourself when we get open.”
I first heard of this in the a.m. of 5-07-08. I checked the site then and the pictures of same sex couples were everywhere. When they saw it was not going to be accepted they changed the looks of the site. Just the way Satan always works — in disquise.
I’ve been putting up with this for a while, but your post TNGirl officially hit the ‘too much’ point. First of all, homosexuality being against your religion is open to interpretation of a book that is close to 2000 years old, and has been translated mulitiple times into different languages. Second of all, why is it that whenever you hear about homosexuals you’re immediately up in arms condemning them, saying they’re going to hell (isn’t there something in that book about not judging others?) and saying god hates them (Isn’t there something in that book about god loving everybody?). Even if it IS a sin, which for the sake of this argument lets say it is, even though I don’t personally believe that to be the case, why is THAT the big one that you feel you have to go ballistic about every time you hear about it.
Why don’t you get up in arms about people watching football games on Sunday (Thou shalt remember the sabbath and keep it holy) or people stealing (Thou shalt not steal) or perhaps somebody looking at something you own, or you looking at something someone else owns and thinking “Gee, I want one of those” (Thou shalt not covet). Ok, I am not a christian, and I don’t follow the Ten Commandments, but I do respect people of all religions. My point is this, the Ten Commandments are supposed to be the biggest, most important rules of your religion, and are fairly straightforward in their meaning, but you choose to ignore them in favor of going crazy about a single verse, that is open to interpretation, and wasn’t important enough to make it into the top 10.
BTW, Feel free to rant about me blatantly ignoring the “No other gods before me” commandment.
