Mickey the merchandiser has gone loud and proud, in a subtle sort of way.
Walt Disney World will be the gathering spot for thousands of gays, their friends and families this weekend, as the 23rd annual Gay Day takes place Saturday at the Magic Kingdom. Now a weeklong event, Gay Days began in 1991 as a single day on which the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community was encouraged to "Wear Red and Be Seen" while visiting the world's most-popular theme park.
Though Walt Disney World has always maintained a neutral stance on the annual event, neither endorsing nor discouraging it, the merchandising machine that is Disney isn't passing up an opportunity to put out a few crowd-pleasing souvenirs.

Gay Days' organizers say they expect 170,000 people to participate in some aspect of this year's event, which started Tuesday evening and runs through Sunday. In addition to visiting Disney World, participants have a range of planned events from which to choose across the tourism district and the rest of the Orlando area, including a Taste of Gay Days restaurant exposition, a charity auction, pool parties and other social gatherings.

I want a gun toting Mickey!
Just imagine what they’ve done with Pinnochio...
We booked a Disney vacation back in February for next week (6th - 10th). Shoot, we were originally looking at this week.
Whew...dodged a bullet there. I had no idea.
If I ever need to plan a family vacation I’m headed to Dollywood. WDW will not get any of my money.
I think gay day at WDW is Monday the 4th. Hopefully, all of the “festivities” are over before your family gets there!
Poor Penischio!!
What?!? No Micky butt-plug?
Glad we continue to refuse to patronize this organization. There are far too many beautiful and educational places to vacation in our great country than to waste money and time on Disney.
I actually worked there out of college. They employ a LOT of homosexuals in their dance shows and other areas. They are way more gay friendly than they care to admit.
G-d is NOT mocked!
Does it come with a free side of herpes?
All this time I thought Mickey’s favorite Mouseketeer was Annette and it turns out to be Cubby.
I never understood the fascination with Disney. I have no interest in giving such a blatantly anti-family organization thousands of my dollars for a family vacation.
Hey Mickey, Stick it where the sunshine don’t hit it.... Just say NO to PERVERTS...........
to paraphrase the old joke...
now he’s effin Goofy...
I will never understand why gays can’t be fine with acceptance, and why they demand that they be celebrated.
Nobody cares who did what and who did who.
Just keep out of the streets.
What would Walt say?
They are essentially pissing on his grave.
Just keep it out of the streets.
