I don't think anybody is suggesting that Disney is a paid sponsor as much as they are a provider of the venue for the meeting place.

Sure. But is that a fair criticism of Disney? They don't have any real control over who comes to their parks. Disney doesn't kick people out based on sexual orientation or whatnot, so long as they follow the rules.

Why do you blame Disney for the fact that gay groups come to their parks?

While Disney is NOT an official sponsor of Gay Days, they ARE an official sponsor of the Night of Joy - actually two evenings, which they promote on their website as follows:

Rejoice to the rockin' sounds and movin' messages from some of today's most powerful voices in Contemporary Christian music. Live concert performances on stages throughout the Magic Kingdom® Park showcase the best of Christian Pop, Rock, Urban, and Gospel music. It's a magical, musical celebration of inspiration and joy!

See 19 stars* — live on stage. Rejoice in two unbelievable nights ... Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10 ...

Considering this, the Narnia movie and the coming change in management, I think the Baptists were correct in ending the boycott at this time.

The end of the boycott and the probable success of a well-done Narnia flick will only encourage Disney to return to its pro-family roots.
