I thought every day at Disney was a Gay Day.

If I lived in the area, I would want an enhanced law enforcement presence during that week to ticket and arrest any indecent behavior.

[GrandEagle]

Good, we stopped doing "The Mouse" five years ago. No danger of my family stumbling into this at Disney. Hopefully it will prevent others from an embarrassing encounter.

arrest any indecent behavior.
The only thing indecent to that crew is decency.

I love Disney World...but I have boycotted anything Disney, including the park. Poor Unca Walt.

[Rodney King]

Is this really the biggest news story of 2004?

[GrandEagle]

Me too. It is a shame, but I just had to take a stand. If they want to be a porno park then advertise it as such, don't pose as a family friendly place.

there are other smaller, less publicized "gay days" all around the country, at other theme parks. "GAY DAYS" is its own organization, not neccessarily funded or promoted by Disney itself, although Disney certainly isn't going out of its way to distance itself from the organization, thats for sure. There's no such thing as bad publicity, to them. It just happens to choose Walt Disney World, one of the largest theme parks in the world, for its largest meeting. It happens at Paramount Parks such as Kings Island, for instance. My roommate from college happened to be there one saturday, with his brother. Wearing a red shirt. He saw the large amounts of same sex pairs all wearing red. He promptly went into a store and bought a different shirt to distinguish himself.

You have a point.

We unknowingly took the family to Disneyland on the 1st weekend in Oct. and it turned out to be gay days. We were infuriated, luckily our children were too young to notice any thing. We cut out trip a little short and vowed to never visit Disney again unless they change their policy.

No. The re-election of your President was the biggest news story of 2004. May God give him wisdom and strength to fulfill his tasks as the leader of the Free World in 2005 as well!

Mawyer says it is unfortunate that the group has had to embarrass Disney by publicly showing the tape, but the pro-family advocate says the company has no business allowing its name to be attached to Gay Days.

I will respectfully disagree.

Disney is perfectly within their rights to operate their business in ant fashion which its management chooses (note Roy Disney Jr.’s actions trying to depose the current CEO).

Of course I also applaud the efforts of the Christian Action Network to inform unsuspecting parents of the horrors occurring at what is at most times a family friendly theme park.

Disney should, if they insist on having this abomination yearly in their park, make every effort to inform their patrons of these events. An informed guest is a happy guest.

[GrandEagle]

I understand that Disney is not the instigator of these proceedings. However, I would differer a bit with you on their innocence in the event.
In the past when you saw "The Mouse" as a host of an event you could count on it to be a place where you could take your family. Lewd and pornographic behavior would not be tolerated. The participants would be asked to leave because their behavior is not indicative of the clientele.
For example, I would never take my family to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. It is well advertised, and well known what kinds of behavior is acceptable. I have no beef with the City of New Orleans because it is well publicized. We just avoid the area at those times.
My beef with Disney is that they refuse to warn unsuspecting families that they may not want to bring their small children to the park for porno days.

I'm not so sure that CAN's method of warning people will be effective. It seems like they are targeting people who are already in Orlando.

Most people come from out of state to visit the Orlando area. By then they've invested thousands of dollars in tickets, hotel reservations and airline transportation. Disney's new ticket system has tickets that expire (unless you pay extra for a non-expiration option).

Suggestion: Have a promotion - give away a Disney trip for a family, provided that they will accept an annual e-mail message informing them of the Gay Days at Disney.

[bilhosty]

I think you are all missing what is really important. Disney owns ABC and their news division is one of the biggest main stream media slime liars there is. That is the real reason they should be boycotted.

[RoarkMan]

If I could give some (non-gay) love to the mouse: What is Disney supposed to do? They can't advertise it's Gay Day because that's not the image they want to cultivate. They can't warn people because they'd be sued. They can and should step up security and prevent any lewd public behavior. I'm sure if they did that, however, they'd get sued for some reason.

CAN has a good idea to warn families but I wish it would also organize Pray Days or something where a bunch Christians descended on the park to pray and play. Then, other groups would have to worry about encountering a bunch of church-people at the park and they might change their vacation plans.

Disney will not get any more of my business as long as they cultivate and promote American faggotry. No Disneyland, no movies, no toys. Nothing.
