    Fuck them. I love Disney World, queers and all. Its one of my most favorite places to go on vacation. I so wish I had been able to see something like that when I was a kid. I went there my first time in 1996 and have been back 6 or 7 times since then.

    The same thing that's happened to most of the religious right's impotent attempts to exercise its waning power.

    It was a Mickey Mouse set up and failed to live up to its year of dreams. ;)

    I myself despise a religious boycott of anything. Does it mean people are doing it because God wants it? No, but because some religious extremist says so. I don't think we look any better than the Muslims protesting over cartoons at that point (except we are not calling for killing). Hey, my inlaws went to Disney last year, but also went to this place called the Holy Land. Get this, it some kind of amusement park or whatever set up to look like the holy land. God's amusement park :lol: I got a real problem with people making money off religion, but thats MHO. Anyways, my FIL said the place was wonderful and everything looked so real and accurate. I asked him if it had the armored bull dozers and kids throwing rocks at them. He did not reply to this :shrug:

    I don't care if Disney has a Buttpunchers Day or not. As a parent though, I just want to know when they are going to be doing it so that I can keep my kids home that day. Call it bigoted all you want, but I'm not in the least bit comfortable with having my tween children thinking this kind of behavior is acceptable:

    It exists, but my job as a parent is to protect my kids from that crap until such time as they can deal with it on their own.

    :lol:

    I hate to break it to you, but nobody is allowed to enter Disneyland dressed like that. There are minimum standards that all guests to the parks have to meet. At least at the CA theme parks, and I'd be surprised if it was significantly different for the Orlando parks.

    I have personally witnessed them denying entry to people who were dressed inappropriately. That might be part of the reason that "informal" gay days they tend to wear red shirts and things like that instead.
