Like pretty much every child who walks up Main Street U.S.A. at Disney World for the first time, Alix, 10, and her brother Evan, 11, can barely contain their anticipation. Evan wants to ride Space Mountain. Alix is so excited, she can't even say what she wants to do. She is jumping up and down. It's a typical Disney scene, except that Evan, Alix and their sister Jamie, a desultory 4-year-old shielded from the sun in a stroller, have come to the Magic Kingdom with their two moms. It is the 20th anniversary of Gay Days at Disney, and the whole family has traveled from Hickory Corners, Mich., to celebrate.
Gay Days is now one of the largest gay-pride events in the world. According to Watermark, a Florida-based gay newspaper that has been covering Gay Days since it started, about 150,000 people attended this June's six-day gathering, which included 17 pool parties, a business expo, a comic-book convention, a film festival, an after-hours trip to a Disney water park (think dance music and guys in very small swimsuits), bobble-head painting and tie-dyeing for the kids, rivers of alcohol (and some other substances) for the adults and, on June 5, the great culmination: 20,000 to 30,000 lesbians, gays and their families and friends descending on Disney World, everyone clad in red shirts to signify their presence.
Gay Days started modestly in 1991 as a way for some 3,000 lesbians and gays from central Florida to become more visible — on one day,

The Disney company ‘jumped the shark’ once Michael Eisner took over.
They were no longer Kid Friendly but just another Hollywood whore...
JMO..
Hickory Corners is as small as it sounds and not too far from here. I can see why the two moms need to travel to Florida to find someone who enjoys viewing their abnormality.
Twenty years ago, I took my daughter to Disney in Florida, and a few years later, she had an online friend whose mother worked for Disneyland in CA, so we also went there.
At those times, there never was any hint of homo activity.
The whole world is going into the toilet.
I am happy that I am now in my sixties, with good memories.
Well, in all fairness, Disney World didn’t start “gay days” and has never promoted it, as far as I’m aware.
They have no control over who shows up and when, and if they did try to stop them, they’d be sued into oblivion by the federal government.
Regardless, if any government could run things like Disney administers their operations things would improve.
Bitch to find hard liquor on the premises, but I learned the secret.

The two ‘moms’ should explain what being announced perverts truly means.
They are part of an exclusive club that can brag about the fact that most serial killers are homosexuals. Homosexual deaths due to suicide (and AIDS) are rampant.
The innocent children whose lives they destroy will be a millstone around their neck and will earn them an eternity in hell.
Don’t use the toilets, you’ll get AIDS
The Disney organization pays well, right?
You nailed it that it is the children who suffer. I feel so bad for the children mentioned in this article who may never truly experience or understand God’s beautiful plan for families.
Between the sultry cartoons, gay day, and accomodating muslims, I am forever done with Disney...let the liberals have it.
Well bugger the Mouse.. I can assure you that we will not contribute any money to Disney.
Actually, think "anal sex in the dressing rooms and fecal material in the water"...
I for one will never buy another Disney product ever again, and that includes anything that appears on ABC.
Hey I want my day. If they have a special day for the homosexuals then I want a Normal Day set aside and named and bannered for the normal people. Maybe we should sue...
Sue AGAINST gays??? We'd be charged with a "hate" crime....
LOL. I’ve posted on FR since 2001, and I don’t work for Disney, so if you can’t handle a discussion based on facts, you should forego the smarmy response, newbie.
The sad fact is, the gay community could decide to hold a Gay Days week at the “Holy Land Experience” theme park in Orlando, and there wouldn’t be a dang thing the park could do about it. Would that then make the Holy Land Experience deserving of a conservative boycott?
Disney likewise has no workable and legal means to resolve this problem, but if you have a solution, I’m sure they’d love to hear from you. What do you suggest?
“Gay Days” is now 6 days?
eeewwww
Why can’t the homos go during normal times, like everyone else, and keep their horrific sin to themselves?
Probably because as a group (or gaggle) they’re mentally unbalanced. Normal humans have to admit that enjoying having someone’s pee-pee shoved up another’s poo-poo then cleaning the dip stick isn’t natural.
