It is quite possible that the Christian event rented the whole park for their private use. I see no problems with that. Could be any number of reasons other than assuming Disney had some agenda. Aren't they pretty conservative though? Well, except for the recent trend of exploiting young kids and spitting out the remains when they are no longer viable.
Do you expect Disney to put out some Gay Days warning for an unofficial event? I guess they could give individual days a MPAA rating or a Surgeon Generals Warning or something. Are you pissed at Disney about it or dissapointed???  Why would they choose to loose all of that revenue? Who would they be appeasing with that kind of action?
Unfortunately when going to parks like this you are always going to run into shocking people. Most of the time it is punk teenagers. I've never encountered packs of rogue gays. I have had the occasional drunk queen try to pick me up at Church St Station in the city after a night of clubbing.. You know its probably safer to just stay home or maybe go to Branson instead. |
Answers:
1). I felt the need to avoid those areas because my kids were 2 and 4 years old at the time and I really didn't think that exposing them to the flaming gay lifestyle at this point in their lives was needed. Silly me.
2). Yes, I expected a word from Disney about the event. Nothing derogatory, simply "Sir, just so you are aware, there has traditionally been a gathering of the homosexual community here at DisneyWorld on those dates." Then I could make my own decision about whether to go to that event or not.
3). I agree that there are homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, trisexual and quadrasexual people out there who aim to be shocking. Newsflash, I would not want to go to Disney if there was an unofficial porn star convention either.
4). The last comment is the one I like the best. Why are the ones who encourage tolerance always the same ones who suggest that people who happen to have a stricter set of morals then they do go hide somewhere like Branson or just stay home? How tolerant of you...
