After visiting Dollywood several times, and feeling that Dolly re-developed the old Silver Dollar City Theme Park into just a Smoky Mountain Theme Park - representing only the most conservative of values - I was thrilled to see this episode of "So Graham Norton" on BBC America. It truly made me believe Dolly is truly accepting of diverse and different people. (and if DirecTV is reading - I would LOVE to see Channel 4 live in America.)
To say the least, it made me feel much better about visiting Dollywood. Dolly represents herself as a tolerant, progressive woman who has achieved wonderous heights in the business world, and used those heights to benefit the community of her birth.
For me, as an entrepreneur, I aspire to one day deliver as much to my hometown as Dolly Parton has delivered to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
Thank you Graham, and thank you Dolly for delivering a wonderful message - proving that even in the Bible belt of the Midwest - tolerance is acceptable, and people should be respected no matter what their race, gender, orientation, nationality, etc...
