My philosophy is live and let live, but I find it ironic the "festival" is held the first week most schools let out for the summer.It is difficult for the teachers to attend while school is in session. They are in class, teaching indoctrinating recruiting their students.

"...but I find it ironic the "festival" is held the first week most schools let out for the summer." THAT was my FIRST thought. I prefer to remember Disney from the 50's and not patronize anything Disney in this "modern" age. Besides, what the F* are they CELEBRATING anyway? Is there a BLACK days at DISNEY?....HISPANIC DAYS at DISNEY? CAUCASIAN DAYS at DISNEY? Are they celebrating AIDS? This makes me sick.

Now, please correct me if I am wrong, but I had heard that "Gay Days" was a Gay Pride event that was completely independent of Disney. In other words Disney does not sponsor the event, it just happens to be a time when Gay people get together to enjoy the Magic Kingdom.

In other words Disney does not sponsor the event, it just happens to be a time when Gay people get together to enjoy the Magic Kingdom. According to a June 8, 1994 "Family News in Focus" segment, one vacationer present at Disney's Gay Days noticed "official/unofficial" greeters on hand to welcome homosexual customers. They had handouts. Would Disney provide greeters for other groups with diverse sexual orientations (multiple partners' groups)?
Also, a few years ago some guy named Mawyer went to Gay Days & video-taped Disney cast members simulating homosexual erotic dancing, groping, oral and anal sex and then sent censored still photos out of this to his readers. I'm not sure he still has those photos on his web site or not (www.christianaction.org).
So there you have it. Disney has domestic partnership benefits for employees; a homosexual employees group it sanctions; diversity training (re-ed session for heterosexuals); non-discrimination policies that include "sexual orientation" (whatever that means; corporations leave it undefined in those policies).
So if Disney is not squeamish about promoting homosexuality within the company, it certainly has no qualms introducing it to children and teens in some of their dance areas each June.

My philosophy is live and let live... This philosophy works better in some neck of the woods than others. For example if Lot had tried out this philosophy for size and season, it wouldn't have worked too well: "and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)..." (2 Peter 2:7-8)
Obviously, the Internet, films, TV, and our culture in general has callously desensitized most of us so that it's tough to distress or torment whatever vestige of righteousness remains.
Live and let live? If folks are spiritually dead, then our motto could instead be, "Revive and let them live forever." Simply put, we tend not to value them as God does.

"This is not a pride or political event,"
I don't know about that. Some gays (at least) seem to take great pride in public groping and/or 'intercourse'. And for the gay activists, EVERYTHING is a political event.

"What exactly are they "celebrating?"
Why, their gayness of course. They want all of us to celebrate it with them.

A gay pal of mine is going, and he says the "word" is that it is Disney's most profitable weekend. FWIW.

Mayor Welcomes Disney Gay Days VisitorsDid he bend over, grab his ankles, and give them an "all-access pass"?
To: Colofornian
That site does not have anything like that as far as I could tell. A Google search produced a lot of vomit-worthy sites that I would rather not have associated with my company PC.
I tend to agree with the principle that they're going to do it anyway, so it may as well get as much publicity as possible. That way people who might not want to be there for that will know to stay away. Somebody else's gayness does not affect me - on an individual basis - but I object to PDA in any form. Plus, I definitely don't want to explain to my young children why two men/women/miscellaneous are kissing over there.
