A lesbian friend of mine had complained to me just yesterday that Disney was ending "gay day". She and her friends seem to feel that Disney caved to the right wingers..
#14. Is that true?
Hmmmm ... Since Disney never officially organized, coordinated, or sponsored Gay Day(s), I find it hard to see how they can end them. Basically it's a bunch of gay groups that coordinate the dates of when they'll all be gathering at Disney parks. If Disney "ends" this practice, it will have to launch a policy of dicriminatory guest screening that will result in lawsuits you bet.
Don't mistake me -- I have been to Disney parks entirely too many times not to recognize how obnoxious the whole Gay element is there, whether it's Gay Days or the fact that Disney seems to subtly encourage overt "cute" gayness in some of its "cast members" (park employees). All I'm saying is that Disney has never been the organizer behind Gay Days, and I don't see how it has the power to halt individual guests from attending the parks on the basis of their sexual orientation.
Disney never had a "gay day." Gay groups would have a day where they encouraged their members to go, but that is really no different than when, say, the Shriners all go to Disney on a given day. It was not an official Disney event.
Disney never sponsored gay day, so how exactly do your friends think Disney is ending it?
