TrippLA said:
Six Flags in ATL don't offers "Deaf and Hard of Hearing Day", that where all deaf and hard of hearing, hearing families with deaf children.

We already have it, it start on June 10, it only coming in every years like Six Flags in Chicago has it too.

It wasn't on event list but my friend was disappointing because extremely too many hearing people, much more than deaf people, unlike Six Flags in LA.
 
Seattle is around the top 5 cities with big gay/lesbain communities along with SF and LA. I doubt Atlanta is in there, probably far from that.

I am trying to locate that stats I had seen years ago that SF, SEA and ATL being ranked first, second and third. They must be figures for the cities proper, not including the metropolitan areas.

I don't believe most of those hearing people were associated with the deaf. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't many deaf people at Six Flags yesterday, they could be so busy surfing on the news about the protest at Gallaudet University.

Yea, it used almost all deaf and hard of hearing, hearing familes with deaf children last year.
 
Hey TrippLA - I found this article:
Atlanta has a varied history. It began as a provincial seat of the Confederacy that was subsequently torched during the Civil War. Later rebuilt, it suffered rigid segregation during Reconstruction. It has since blossomed into a booming, culturally diverse state capital. The city, popular with young professionals, is home to the third-largest gay population in the country and more than a dozen university and college campuses. In 1996, it grabbed the international spotlight as the host of the 1996 Olympic Games.

TripLA, from all accounts that I've heard and read, what you're saying seems accurate. I've read many reports about Atlanta having a very large GLBT population, primarily in the Midtown area. I don't have any statistics to actually back it up.

As for your comparison of Atlanta to the rest of Georgia, Atlanta is vast metropolitan area. It is a center of diversity that many have called the "New York City of the South." You're probably mistaking Georgia as all rural, small town kind of state. For the most part that is correct, but Atlanta is a Mecca of diversity and culture.

I don't says that Georgia is all rural area. I means that Atlanta metro is known as few or no bible thumpers and few or no rednecks live in. Half of population are from Atlanta metro. In California, half of population are from LA metro but rest of them like SF, San Diego, Sacramento, Fresno and San Jose are away from LA metro, San Diego can be considered part of LA metro. Unlike rural area of Georgia, California have no bibe thumpers, no rednecks and none of them are meet to their south culture, rest of CA are diverseful and culture.

TrippLA, yes, there are some people like that in outlying areas of Atlanta, but they are of minority groups. Los Angeles and elsewhere in California have these kind of people. Tom Metzger, an internationally-known racist leader lives in Southern California - not far from LA.

You'd probably be surprised that as of 2005, California has more hate groups/organisations - more than anywhere in the United States. See for yourself: Linky.

Half of California is rural - mainly in central and northern - more square miles of rural than of Georgia, Florida, etc!

San Diego isn't part of the LA metropolitan area. But the Census is considering to include SD in the LA-Riverside-Orange County Consolidated Metro (CMSA). It won't be until after 2010 for that to happen.

Yea, I know about Tom Metzger for many years, he is soo crazy and stupid. For rest of LA are extremely diverse, just behind from NYC. LA and Miami has diverse with latino that from Mexico, Central America, South America including Brazil. I'm too surprised that Chicago has hate group and also in LA too but for LA, it wasn't bad as in 1992 LA riot, some problem with racial tensions (bad racial relation) on between latino and blacks, also between korean and blacks too. Unlike most cities in USA, low income neighborhood in CA are diverse, mixed with white, asian, latino, black, pacific islander and others. Crime and hate group is happen in anywhere.

Georgia has more rural in per capita than California does, also rest of Southeast states. Texas is worse one and CA has bigger land, that why. For Northern California, there's alot of urban like in bay area that where SF metro is about more than 7 million. Yea, North and Central is rural area and not all north and central are so and there's some rural area in SoCal too. CA is known as sprawl capital for long time. CA has high density than GA does.

You don't know? LA Metro is more than 17 million, including LA-Orange-Riverside-San Bernardino-Ventra but some people believe that San Diego can be but it's not in right now. I just said "metro" that where take all cities and suburb at total, Atlanta metro (including Athens) are more than 5 million.
 
Brian, I didn't realized that you live in Atlanta. My mother's side of family live north of Georgia. Mostly in Cartersville, Marietta, Symrna, Rome and few others. :lol:
