Hattie McDaniel, who won an Oscar for "Gone" for playing the house slave "Mammy".

There's a black nurse at the hospital who's name is Mammy and wears her name tag proudly.

Does anyone else find it odd there's so much uproar over a cartoon but it's ok for Disney to have Gay Day?

One of the BIGGEST misconceptions about Disney is that they organize and endorse Gay Days at their theme parks.

Gay Days are only organized by independent gay and lesbian groups that infiltrate many different theme parks across the USA every year.  You can read more about it here. 

Disney does not organize, endorse, or promote Gay Day in any way. Don't expect a Disney representative to take the initiative to tell potential park goers when the gays are coming. It's not their event. They don't manage it. Unless their is something illegal about it, there is absolutely nothing Disney, or any other theme park, can do to stop it.

Before I visit the park I take two seconds to visit the Gay Day site to see what days not to visit.
