Disney/Universal has long been on the front line for
Gay Civil Rights. They were one of the first major corporations in the US to offer health benefits to their gay employees and their families.
GayDay has been held at
Disney Orlando for
Eighteen years. Disney has allowed same sex union organizations such as
GayDay to utilize the theme park despite 9 years of boycotting from many groups like the
Southern Baptist Convention. But so we're clear,
GayDay is not offically sposored by
Disney World.
Here is a link to their website:

There are many events to raise money for charity, formal balls to attend, concerts, seminars etc. etc. It's also a chance for the families of gay and lesbian men and women to get together, relax, and just have a blast.
There is nothing sordid or salacious about the event, and a lot of the people who attend are not necessarily Gay either.
I do not agree with the
Disney Corporation on many other issues, however I have always applauded their courage for acknowledging and supporting the rights of their Gay and Lesbian employees.
And in case anyone is curious, nope I am not Gay. I just strongly support the
Civil Rights of
ALL free and law abiding
Americans.
Just didn't want to see the rumor mill end up running rampant later about the possible link between Tom Manley's sexual orientation, Gay Day, and little Caylee.
