These are the people who host Gay Day at Disney World, a venue freqented by children.

I doubt it really matters how many times I post this when people already have their minds made up, but Disney does not endorse the Gay Days event in any way, shape or form. It is completely unofficial.

Disney has diversified their operations over the years, for better or for worse, but they still put out a good deal of family friendly product. They recently distributed "The Other Side of Heaven," a very positive movie about a Mormon missionary in the South Pacific, and have struck gold year after year thanks to their partnership with Pixar.

My advice: buy the family friendly stuff that Disney produces and shun all the crap that comes out of Miramax. If Disney finds it more profitable to focus on family entertainment, they'll focus on that instead of adult-oriented products.

Disney doesn't promote the "Gay Days", but they certainly don't seem to mind them, either. A lack of disapproval will be seen as approval, rightly or wrongly.

You're probably right about them returning to a family focus if it were more profitable - but let's face it, it's undoubtedly sheer profit motive that's driven them in this direction anyway. (Look how profitable the porn industry has become, for example.)

My biggest objection is that Disney continues to mislabel their products. For example, the "ABC Family" channel certainly isn't. At 10:30 on a weekday morning, they showed the movie Casual Sex, apparently as a lead-in to Dragonball-Z. Produce whatever you want, but call it what it is.
