Disney Welcomes Gay Days Celebration
AFA Journal, May 2001 Edition
Homosexuals determined to keep The Walt Disney Company firmly on their side are once again scheduled to descend on the Mouse's famed Orlando theme park for "Gay Days at Disney."
As has been the custom throughout most of the 1990s, Disney is unofficially hosting the series of events which accompany the tens of thousands of homosexuals who visit Walt Disney World. The summer event is again the anchor for what has become a week-long homosexual festival.
While Disney has been extremely protective of its trademarked characters and logos in other instances, AFA has noted over the years that slightly altered forms of the Mickey Mouse logo have been used by the official website for the celebration, www.gayday.com. AFA sees Disney's lack of zeal in protecting their trademark in this case as a tacit endorsement of the event by the company.
Homosexuals have rented many of Disney's facilities for events and get-togethers. For example, Disney has rented out both Mannequins Dance Palace and 8TRAX for "gay" dancing for several nights during Gay Days.
AFA President Donald Wildmon said Gay Day was one of the major reasons AFA initiated a boycott five years ago. "Disney rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars through this celebration of homosexuality," he said. "That's as reprehensible as if Disney had hosted Prostitute Day or Pedophilia Days at the Magic Kingdom." Parents can call Disney World to find out when Gay Days are scheduled. Call 1-818-560-1000.
