I think this thread is dangerously close to a thread posted previously that became deeply offensive after a while. When it comes to religious views, there's no option really but to agree to disagree.
In respect to gay days - I can subscribe to both sides of the story. On the one hand, I've never been myself, but if it is indeed true that PEOPLE (and I emphasise the word people) are dry-humping and making out in an unacceptable manner in Disney World then this of course I would not tolerate.
On the other hand, it is ironic that this event exists in the first place - simply because it is CONSTRUCTED and enforced by heterosexual people. If there was true equality in the world, and this minority of hateful heterosexuals (and I do want to make it clear i'm just referring to homophobes here) did not exist, then there would not be a need for a day like gaydays, or pride, where gay people are able to express themselves freely as human beings. These days are EXPLOSIONS of expression after a long time of suppression.
For example: imagine that you were put in a box and starved for 364 days of the year, because a large majority of people would not let you out from that box, for ridulous and unfounded reasons. Then, one day, you are let out of that box. What are you going to do?
Because the context in my example is 'starvation and confinement', it would be human instinct to engage in an all out food binge, in front of all to see, eating everything you can get your hands on, and celebrating your new found freedom. Just as we breath in, and out, suppression is naturally followed by expression.
If the context we are dealing with is sexual suppression - what is likely to be expressed at the moment of expression? Think about that one.
Gay is a sexuality, as is straight. There is absolutely nothing wrong with two men holding hands in a themepark. If this was the case all year round, then perhaps this one day of expression would be 'diluted' so to speak. I have had wonderfully romantic moments with my boyfriends all year round at all the Disney parks throughout the world. None of these involved making out in public or anything ridiculous like that. I have noticed many gay couples holding hands without anyone even batting an eyelid - and why should they? It can be quite difficult to overtly hold hands in Disney at times, but my boyfriend and I haven't been unable to do anything that any heterosexual couple couldn't do, so i'm not complaining! From holding hands at firework time, to sharing a nice romantic meal.
Disney is one of the most gay friendly corporations in the world - giving equal recognition and health insurance benefits to gay couples. With family working in the parks, I'm aware that there is a vibrant gay community that keeps Disney alive, and in fact it would be safe bet that, especially amongst the male employees, there is a homosexual majority. These cast members enjoy and participate in the gaydays parties.
If you took away gay people from Disney, then Disney would quite simply cease to exist.
This is NEVER going to change - and that is what makes Disney so dear to my heart
