Gay Day at Disney exposes thousands of children to lifestyle, please send your email

How would you feel if you entered the Magic Kingdom anticipating a normal day of fun with your family only to witness thousands of same-sex couples holding hands, hugging, kissing and wearing tee-shirts that promoted their lifestyle? 

Every year since 1991 Disney World in Orlando Florida has allowed thousands of homosexuals, lesbians and trans-genders to hold a coming out party in the Magic Kingdom on the first Saturday of June.  The first Saturday in June is typically the first Saturday during the summer break from school when tens of thousands (10,000s) of children are in the theme park.

A Florida Family Association team has attended Gay Day at Disney for many years to witness the event and public reaction.  It appears from the behavior of Gay Day patrons that they were more intent on being seen rather than seeing Disney World.  

 "We need to be seen in the heart of America's playground."  A Gay Day Patron told the FFA photographer.

Many Gay Day patrons wore shirts that promoted homosexuality (top left photo), kissed, hugged and groped in very public places (bottom left photo) and dressed in drag (bottom right photo) all to the curiosity of tens of thousands of children (top right photo). 

The event has been very offensive to the general public.  We witnessed thousands of people who entered through the train station at the main entrance to the theme park, who saw the large gathering of Gay Day patrons and turned around and left the park.  Our team took numerous pictures of offended guests.  One man with a family of fourteen from Brazil furiously sought out Disney personnel who promptly gave him a handful of free passes.  One of those Disney officials informed us that they gave out 3,000 free passes just in the first two hours of the event.

Why would Disney allow Gay Day to take place during regular operating hours at the expense of offending tens of thousands of unsuspecting guests when they require other special events to be held after normal operating hours?  Disney requires special events like Grad Night and Night of Joy to be held after the Magic Kingdom's regular operating hours.  Disney does this to avoid having a large group of likeminded people in the park at the same time with regular patrons who expect a normal day at the Magic Kingdom. 

Florida Family Association has asked Disney officials to require Gay Day to be held after hours, like Grad Night or Night of Joy, to avoid offending unsuspecting families who traveled thousands of miles expecting a normal day.

We have prepared an email for you to send to encourage Disney officials to require Gay Day to be held after regular operating hours.

Suggested Subject Line:

Please require future Gay Days to be held after hours like other special events

Suggested Email Message:

Please change your policy to protect unsuspecting families and children from being forced as a captive audience to witness future Gay Days at the Magic Kingdom.

We have learned the presence of Gay Day patrons is so obvious that thousands of regular patrons have asked for return passes or left the park in prior years.  Since 1991, tens of thousands of families with children have been forced to either endure Gay Day or otherwise abandon their once in a lifetime plans to visit the Magic Kingdom.

As a private property owner in the State of Florida, Disney World certainly has the right to adopt and enforce company policy that would do a better job at protecting thousands of children from being forced to watch the revelry of Gay Day patrons.  You do it for Grad Night.  You do it for Night of Joy.  You can do it for Gay Day.

Please stop this offensive event from occurring in the midst of thousand of children by requiring that it be held after regular operating hours when thousands of children will not be in the park.  Thank you.
