Kroc Center Grand Opening Features Musical Performances, Implicit Anti-Gay Bigotry

It's fun for the whole family, as long as your family doesn't include at least one LGBT person! And really, if you have a family that you remotely keep up with, your family has at least one LGBT person! (If you think it doesn't, they're probably hiding it, and you're the problem.)

So yeah, right next to Memphis's gayest neighborhood (you know, the one that actually makes national lists for good reasons) at the dilapidated, ugly fairgrounds, the Salvation Army Kroc Center is opening this weekend:

Kroc Center, the Salvation Army’s 104,211-square-foot super community hub, debuts this weekend with an open house and official dedication. A wide variety of attractions, entertainment and demonstrations will run throughout the day Saturday as befits the $31 million project that will offer sporting and fitness facilities, a three-story “Challenge Area,” theater and art programs, music education, and a performing arts center and banquet hall, both seating 300. 

Neat. They will have all of these things, and musical performances and all that shit, and you can rest assured that any money you spend there will likely find its way to trickling down and hurting an LGBT person in some way or another. In case this is all news to you, here's a handy video detailing the Salvation Army's anti-gay activities over the years:



Memphis...

One day you'll have actual nice things, as opposed to things that are sort of nice if you hold your nose the whole time. At least it's outside the Parkways.
