"If shareholders saw the video, I would hope they would see thousands of people in the parks having a good time, spending money and increasing the value of their shares," Swallow said.

Roughly translated, Doug Swallow is saying ... "I hope the shareholders love money more than God and are willing to forsake Him in return for additional worldly possessions."

In that, I hope he is wrong.

And then there was my friend who was down there for a convention and just happened to be wearing his favorite red golf shirt...

I always remind him of that whenever I see him wearing that green Disney golf shirt that he bought in such a hurry.

That's not a name, that's a command.

In the future, the Christian Action Network would like Disney visitors to be warned about Gay Days when they make reservations. The group also would like Disney to post notices about Gay Days at the entrances to its theme parks and reimburse guests unhappy with attending the parks on the same days as Gay Days, Vaught said.

This sounds like a reasonable request. Gay Days is never going to go away. The least Disney can do is give some sort of advance warning to people who don't want their kids exposed to this -especially if they took a week's vacation and drove the family across the country to go to one of Disney's amusement parks.

The goal is to show shareholders footage of members of the same sex holding hands, kissing and cuddling during the annual festivities,

Oh the humanity!!!!! I'm sure my eyes would burn out of my skull!

"

We need to be seen
in the heart of America's playground
(Disney)" boasted a homosexual patron of GAY DAY 1994


Desensitize Children
Most of GAY DAY's patrons want to be seen in America's largest playground. Thousands of GAY DAY patrons wore bold shirts that promoted homosexuality (top left), kissed, hugged and groped in very public places (bottom left), and dressed in drag (bottom right) for tens of thousands of children and parents (top right) to see.

The primary purpose of GAY DAY is to demonstrate and promote homosexuality at a time when thousands of children and unsuspecting adults are a captive audience in the Magic Kingdom.
Disney has the legal right as a private property owner to prohibit guests from exhibiting behavior or printed clothing which promotes homosexuality.
The fact that Disney is not exercising this right to enforce rules that would protect unsuspecting families from being exposed to GAY DAY is more evidence that Disney supports the event and the homosexual agenda.

"Taliban group to show video of Christian women offending Allah by wearing modern garb that did not cover the very offensive faces and legs!"

Nuff said.

Disney already has a reputation as a "gay friendly" company (insurance benefits and such).

But what if they weren't? What are they supposed to do about "gay day"?
Ask customers if they are "gay" when they come into the park?

I remember when Rush had his show on TV. He showed footage of the "gay pride" parade/march on DC after Clinton was elected. It takes a lot to shock me, but I have to admit I was SICKENED by this freakfest. The guy with the huge, purple strap-on simulating a sex act on his buddy - in the middle of the parade in our nation's capitol - made me want to puke. I also heard reports later that some of the lesbians were on a PA system outside the White House telling Bill to send Hillary and Chelsea out "for" them. It reminded me of the story of Sodom and Gommorah when the wicked were beating on people's doors asking for young boys.

Of course, the mainstream media showed the 'sanitized' version of the parade on the nightly news.

Not comparable. People groping each other and cramming their tongues down one anothers throats in public is offensive. That's behaviour that should stay private. Anyone with dignity and discretion doesn't behave this way in a public setting.

The sole purpose of a GAY DAY at a children's amusement park is to expose children to homosexuality. This is more than immoral, it's sick. And, shown the statistics of pedophilia in the gay community, it out to be illegal (my opinion of course).

In America, I cannot expect or even desire Disney to question people as to their sexual orientation at the gates of the Magic Kingdom. I can, however, expect and desire them not to condone such behavior or market it in any positive light. I can expect and desire them to warn unsuspecting families and vacationers of planned GAY DAYs so they may make alternative plans. I can expect and desire them to remove outwardly and openly expressive gays from the park during unplanned GAY DAYs for the benefit of families.

It's a family show. My true desire is to see it remain so.

I'm sure I expect and desire too much, but I'm Christian :-) My role model was perfect in every way.

"Bye bye, everyone! We're going to the happiest place on earth!"

"We made it, kids! We're here. We're really here!"

"Hold on there, heterosexuals. Unless Rusty has two mommies, the park's off limits to you folks today. Sorry. Gays only."

This is correct, of course. But there's really nothing the Disney organization could do to stop it if they just all show up, as long as they are not actually sodomizing each other in public.

Now this is another matter. A boycott by organized private individuals is perfectly legitimate. Just understand the boycott will have to be permanent.

Gay Days started more than 11 years ago when Swallow and his friends from a gay computer bulletin board service decided to get together informally at the Magic Kingdom.

Actually, "gay days" started at Disneyland, whether formal or informal, around the early 80's. Same idea caught on at Knotts Berry Farm too around the same time. This kind of filth has been around, sadly, for a long time.

I worked at Disney World in Florida from 1974 to 1978. (Every high school kid worked at WDW in those days...) There is no way this kind of activity would have been tolerated then.

A case in point: I worked at the Camera Store on Main Street during the summer of 1974. One day right after opening a guy walks in wearing a t-shirt that says "Eat Sh*t!" Seems like it took only seconds for two blue-uniformed security guards to intercept the guy. He was escorted away. Later I talked to one of the security guards. They told him to immediately find something else to wear, or he would be escorted from the park.

The guards escorted him across the street to the Emporium, and WDW rang up a nice new sweatshirt sale. Not directly related to gays, but it shows how hard they worked to preserve a family-friendly environment. And they did an excellwent job back then. Not anymore.

Years later I took my family to Disney Land in Anaheim. For years I had bragged to my family about what a great company Disney was. We happened to be there in late June. Big mistake. My daughter, three at the time, got to see more than I had bargained for. Perverts: Keep it in your pants, keep it in your mouth, keep it in your bedroom. Please infect only yourselves. Leave those kids alone!

Amen. Is there still a law against contributing to the corruption of a minor? No one seems to be asking the question. Only "9" results on Google for the phrase. A Google search for "Gay days" - 7320. Wouldn't it be something to see an army of angry moms finally confronting the ACLU in court?
