They're Not Having A Gay Old Time

Florida Family Association, a Christian group--and they call themselves 'christians' while they discriminate--is going after Disney World because of the theme park's annual Gay Days celebration by flying a banner plane over Disney World that reads: "Warning Gay Day at Disney".

Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

I have a message for oxymoronic group, FFA: Better people than you have tried to stop Disney from having, promoting, and profiting quite nicely--since it's a huge success--off a Gay Day Celebration. And, in the near-twenty years there have been Gay Days at the park, no one has ever succeeded.

And why is that?

Well, for starters, it's that whole Christian thing where you spout love out of one side of your mouths and hate out of the other.

For another, most of the people who attend Gay Days aren't even gay. With parks as large as Disney's the majority of park goers are straight, and have no problem with Gay Days.

The FFA claims hundreds of thousands of people arrive at the park this time of year, only to turn around because of the weeklong celebration, Yes, I can imagine Joe Podunk and the wife and kids loaded up the camper and drove all the way across the country to spend a week at Disney, and then just went home because fags were on the Matterhorn.

Don't.Think.So.

Personal story: Carlos and I went to Disney World while we lived in Florida, only we went in January, We had a lovely vacation at Epcot and Disney World, and on our last day, after watching the fireworks, we headed for the exit.

As we walked along, we began holding hands, as we are apt to do sometimes, and I noticed a lesbian couple come up alongside of us; they, too, were holding hands.

Suddenly, a voice behind us shouted: "What is this? it isn't Gay Days!"

One of the lesbians turned back, and said, "Honey, every day is gay day for us."

And it is. And will be at Disney World for a long time to come, no matter how many Christians boycott or fly banners or simply wallow in their intolerance.

We're here. We're queer. And we're on Mister Toad's Wild Ride, right alongside of you.
