CAN to Release Exclusive Videotape Christian Action Network released its exclusive video called "Gay Days at Disney Gone Wild!" at a national press conference in Washington D.C. on August 5th. The event was held at the Washington Hilton and Towers in Washington, D.C. "This is the most explosive videotape ever produced by Christian Action Network," said Martin Mawyer, president of CAN. "This videotape documents the last six-year history of Gay Days at Walt Disney World. And because Disney has refused to address our concerns, we are releasing footage never previously exposed to the American public," said Mr. Mawyer. The footage...

If you live pretty much anywhere in the Western world these days, you'll notice a certain kind of news item cropping up with quiet regularity. The Irish Times had one last week. As Liam Reid reported, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties has warned Catholic bishops that distributing the Vatican's latest statement on homosexuality could lead to prosecution under the 1989 Incitement to Hatred Act, and a six-month jail term. "The document itself may not violate the Act, but if you were to use the document to say that gays are evil, it is likely to give rise to hatred,...

"This would be a joke if your lies weren't so blatantly false. (Christian Group Blasts 'Orgy of Depravity' at Disney's Gay Days, August 7) I can't tell you how many times I've had to complain about breeders doing their trick in public and nobody bats an eyelid, but the minute the vicious Right Wing Hate Machine begins spewing its lies, people fall all over themselves in phony indignation. They're probably gay too, but just lack the courage to out themselves. You should be ashamed of yourselves, but people who lie have no conscience- they do go to Hell." Melinda C....

"Most Shocking Gay Day Event Ever At Walt Disney World " Orlando – “This was the most shocking Gay Day event ever,” Martin Mawyer, president of Christian Action Network, said of his experience during the annual Gay Day at Walt Disney World. The homosexual celebration, which ran from June 3rd to June 8th, featured topless homosexuals engaged in hugging, kissing and public fondling at a Disney theme park. “The video footage we captured on film is the most brazen and shameless display of public homosexuality I’ve ever seen,” Mr. Mawyer said. “And to think it occurred at Disney World is...

A growing number of conservatives are at odds with Disney and the homosexual movement over 'Gay Days,' a June event in which homosexuals converge on various Disney properties and associated establishments in Orlando, Florida and environs. While this event is not formally sanctioned by Disney - it's grown from a local grass-roots homosexual movement into an event of global notoriety - one must presume that 'Gay Days' is in Disney's best interest. Forget for a moment from whose pocket the money comes during this observance; it's all green and it all adds to the corporate bottom line and those of...

Kids’ Parade’s fate discussed by all sides By Craig Gima cgima@starbulletin.com Participants and organizers of this Saturday's Kids' Parade met yesterday in a city conference room to discuss the details of an event that may not take place. The Hawaii Christian Coalition, which is organizing the parade with city help, has said it will cancel the parade if a federal judge rules today that three gay rights groups must be allowed to march in it. Members of gay rights groups denied permission to march in the parade also attended yesterday's weekly planning meeting of organizers and participants at Honolulu Hale....

(Editor's Note: The following article contains descriptions of actual and simulated homosexual activity during the "Gay Days" events, that some readers may find offensive.) Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - The decision by one of President Bush's conservative judicial nominees not to take his children to the Walt Disney World Resort during an unofficial homosexual gathering held there annually is under fire by one liberal Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) challenged Alabama Attorney General William H. "Bill" Pryor about his decision during Pryor's June 11 confirmation hearing before the committee. "News accounts also report that you even...

The trickle of red-shirted Disney enthusiasts first appeared in the parking lot, more than a mile by monorail or ferryboat from their intended destination. By journey's end, just inside the gates of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, the trickle became a sea of red. The throng of people in matching ensembles, most of whom had never met, was more than a coincidence. Saturday was the annual "Gay Day" at Disney, attracting several thousand gays and lesbians whose choice of hue allowed them to share the experience together. "You feel comfortable holding hands," Floridian Bernadette Comstock said of the atmosphere at...

Sit in on any business or marketing class being taught today in America's universities, and odds are that one lecture will focus on this common-sense principle: actions speak louder than words. Translation: the American public will judge your company not by what it says, but by what it does. In these days following June 7, 2003, one cannot help but wonder whether Michael Eisner, president and CEO of the Walt Disney Corporation, happened to miss that class. The thought of Walt Disney World in June conjures up many images -- oppressive heat, sun block with an SPF 70 rating, those...

Mayor welcomes Gay Days visitors By Melissa Harris | Sentinel Staff Writer Posted June 4, 2003 Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer kicked off the annual Gay Days celebration Tuesday night in a historic and symbolic step toward ending years of bitterness between City Hall and the gay community. "It's wonderful to finally have a mayor accept us in public as well as in private," said Marty Chapman, 48, an Orlando attorney who served on a grass-roots committee that proposed the ordinance. Dyer told more than 700 people at the Orlando Museum of Art that he was proud the city was one...

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer kicked off the annual Gay Days celebration Tuesday night in a historic and symbolic step toward ending years of bitterness between City Hall and the gay community. Glenda Hood, Dyer's predecessor, opposed a city law that protects gays from discrimination. In a fierce debate late last year, City Council approved the measure 4-3 after receiving thousands of pieces of mail from around the country. "It's wonderful to finally have a mayor accept us in public as well as in private," said Marty Chapman, 48, an Orlando attorney who served on a grass-roots committee that proposed the...

Christian Group Wants Disney's No-Fly Zone Down For Gay Days ORLANDO, Fla. -- The airspace above Walt Disney World has been free of aircraft since March, when the government said the resort was a terrorism target of symbolic value. But a Christian organization that wants to send banner-towing planes over the theme park during this week's Gay Days festivities believes the no-fly zone equals no free speech. The Virginia-based Family Policy Network seeks to preach during Gay Days "the truth that Christ can set them free from the sin of homosexuality," according to the organization's Web site. The 13th...

What makes Walt Disney World such a draw to gay and lesbian tourists is the fantasy in Fantasyland - not to mention other attractions around the resort. An estimated 135,000 gays and lesbians are expected to descend on Disney World's central Florida theme parks for the 13th annual Gay Days that start Thursday and run through the weekend. Like any tourists, they have plenty of resorts and amusement parks from which to choose, but experts who have studied Disney's relationship with Gay Days say there's magic in the kingdom. "The theme parks are a place where fantasy and escapism run...

<p>Seven years after she famously declared, "Yep, I'm gay" and shortly thereafter found herself relegated to the purgatory of "Hollywood Squares," comic Ellen DeGeneres is poised for a big career comeback, thanks to a G-rated Disney movie in which she plays - of all things - a fish.</p>
