'Rainbow Mickey' souvenirs come out for Gay Days (at Walt Disney World in Orlando)

Mickey the merchandiser has gone loud and proud, in a subtle sort of way.

Walt Disney World will be the gathering spot for thousands of gays, their friends and families this weekend, as the 23rd annual Gay Day takes place Saturday at the Magic Kingdom. Now a weeklong event, Gay Days began in 1991 as a single day on which the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community was encouraged to "Wear Red and Be Seen" while visiting the world's most-popular theme park.

Though Walt Disney World has always maintained a neutral stance on the annual event, neither endorsing nor discouraging it, the merchandising machine that is Disney isn't passing up an opportunity to put out a few crowd-pleasing souvenirs.

Gay Days' organizers say they expect 170,000 people to participate in some aspect of this year's event, which started Tuesday evening and runs through Sunday. In addition to visiting Disney World, participants have a range of planned events from which to choose across the tourism district and the rest of the Orlando area, including a Taste of Gay Days restaurant exposition, a charity auction, pool parties and other social gatherings.

You have uttered a deep truth.

I will add one more line to it.

Not only is the guilty conscience not satisfied with mere acceptance, and demands their “culture” celebrated, but they are filled with a seething hatred of the happiness of folks who live a good life while rejecting that “culture”.

They feel compelled to intrude and destroy that happiness. The most obvious example I’ve ever seen is Sarah Palin, who dared to defy the culture of abortion and have a “defective” child, love and enjoy him, and proclaim him wonderful. Oh, how the abortion lovers and culture of death on the left hate her for that. They would have pronounced her “brave” and “heroic” if she would have killed little Trigg in the womb.

Make no mistake about it, the affront to God is purposeful.

So, in other words, they ARE supporting it.

Excuse my misuse of the word “trifling.” I should’ve simply said: “They have no clue of the powers they're messing with.”

Doh!

The comments at the site demonstrate that there’s nothing happy about gay day.

I agree. I’ve known people who were so full of self-loathing that they were compelled to do what you describe, viz. to create chaos for everybody around them. They did that so that they were assured nobody was happy. Fags are programmed that way.

I imagine Tinker Bell isn’t happy about all the extra competition.
