First, yes we went to Disney. At that point we had over $1000 invested in the trip and I didn't really feel like flushing that money down the toilet. Also, my schedule is pretty tight and it was our only option. Second, I didn't complain to anyone about the trip, in fact I said the trip was great. I simply think that if Disney knows this event is going on and they know the kind of over the top activity that goes on then they should simply inform people instead of letting them walk unsuspectingly into a spectacle. Again, the "Night of Joy" (Christian gathering) is a private ticket event, I would think they should make Gay Days the same. Lastly, no it isn't the same as a troop of Boy Scouts. A troop of Boy Scouts showing up is a random event. Gay Days happens on the same weekend each year. Also, I'm sure you can appreciate by now (I hope) that my issue is NOT the fact that there are thousands of gay people at Disney. My issue is the behavior of a small percentage of those people while at that event.

However squemish it might make you, two guys kissing is not a valid reason. Even if its 200 female couples kissing all over the park.

Heh, two guys kissing doesn't make me squeamish. I'm not sure if trying to put me into your pre-established homophobe box makes you feel better about yourself or not...
Anyhow, Disney DOES try to police things. Unfortunately there are only so many security officers and there are thousands of participants. Disney does try, but the frequency of events is simply too many for them to stop even most of it. If you don't believe me, then do some looking at the event yourself...or just read the essay I posted above, written by an openly gay man active in the gay community.
