I really don't understand peoples fear of gay days at Disney. They make it seem like gays are going to MK to have s*x on main street! I just want to tell them "GET OVER IT"!!

Maybe this will make you feel a bit better.

Four and a half years ago or so, I met my boyfriend online. The next day we had a date, and as it turns out, we both knew that this was going to work out. Sure, we're badly mismatched; different races, a twelve year age difference, very different upbringings, etcetera. But when we're together (and we're together all the time) we have tons of fun.

We moved in together six months later, and have been building a life together since then. We love each other deeply.

A few weeks ago, I asked him to marry me. He said yes. We both want to promise each other that we'll try to make each other happy for the rest of our lives.

We decided to get married, in our favorite restaurant (which they're closing down for us for the occasion) with our favorite people (the ones who've rooted us on from the beginning) and even our favorite cake (ice cream cake!) on the fifth anniversary of the day that we met. Then we're going to our very favorite place, courtesy of my mom... Disneyland! (duh.)

It was only after all of these plans were in place that I realized that our anniversary, October 6th, falls the day before Gay Days at DL.

So on the day after we promise ourselves to each other, my boyfriend and I will be in our favorite place in the world, on the one day that we don't have to worry about holding hands in public.

Or wearing matching Mickey-groom hats.

It seems to me that all the Gay Days hubbub is definitely, positively, worth it.

CONGRATULATIONS!

There will be photos of the occasion right?

I for one am so sick of people talking like gay days is so terrible. I am sorry that I am missing it. I want to take my DC to gay days. I hope that they see same sex couples together. I want my children to see that the world is filled with all kinds of people. I want them to grow up knowing that any two people who love each other is okay. My best friend is gay and I will never hide who she is from my kids. I want them to embrace all people! This may sound rude but sometimes I want to tell people to grow up! I hope I am not out of line for saying this.

Congratulations! Such a great story. My boyfriend and I are an interracial gay couple too so I always love to hear stories of other interracial couples as well. Best of luck to both of you!!

Gabbysmom,

It's encouraging to hear comments from people like you.

I have been to every Gay Day at WDW except 2. Every year I come ready for the orgy on Main Street and every year I seem to miss it. I had hoped that this year someone would post the time so I could finally participate.

Don't let a few homophobic idiots get to you. There are plenty of us who would love to join you at WDW days. (Well, maybe if Gays Days were held in a cooler time of the year.) Don't these people realize that gay people are all around them every day?

 

[skratch addict]

im straight and i really dont care either way, it dosnt bother me. other people are just way to uncomfortable / narrow minded with it. i dont see why its such a big deal, dosnt ruin my day, im at DISNEYLAND!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

I not comfortable with some PDA's between couples of any type but my heart hurts when I think of people who care deeply for each other who are afraid to touch each others hands or show tenderness toward each other.

BTW, I am a nearly 60 year old Midwestern Housewife and Grandma. There just might be hope for the world after all.

As soon as they make illegal for hetrosexual couples to meet in a bar, take off for Vegas the next day and get married, get health insurance instantly along with other marital benefits and repeat this process several times during their lifetimes I will take seriously the governments insistence on keeping marriage 'sacred".

Best wishes to all and feel comfortable holding hands in front of me, my children or grandchildren. I can explain love easily. It is violence that turns me off.

I popped over and read the latest Oh No! Gay Day thread. The OP of that thread sounds like someone who will never be happy with anything. She wants her trip to be perfect and apparantly that extends to controlling what the makeup of the crowd will be during her stay.

The good news is that everyone else is pretty much telling her that she's overreacting. She is finding no sympathy for her position.

AMEN! I am so sick and tired of hearing how gay people are ruining marriage! Tom Cruise is straight yet he can go around talking about his baby out of Wedlock! Liz Taylor, where do we start?! Straights have done a good enough job of ruining the sanctity of marriage all on their own!

 

[Mandabella]

Apparently not. I honestly do not get it. Why do people care what 2 or more consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom? How does it really impact them? How does legalizing gay marriage hurt my marriage? It doesn't folks!!! Finding love isn't easy for everyone, so I am happy when couples (regardles of orientation) find one another! Okay, I better get off my soap box before I go into full rant mode...


My DH and I's trip last year coincided with Gays Days. And quite frankly, we had a blast. We saw ALL sorts of families, couples, friends, etc....gay and straight. I befriended a little girl in line to see Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. She had 2 daddies. Per one of her dads, she was really a Tinker Bell fan. So, I gave them some tips on where to "see" her. They didn't know she flew at night from the castle.

And then at Adventurer's Club that night....WHAT A FABULOUS GOOD TIME!! LOVED IT! It was soooo packed, but good times. I laughed my butt off....so much so I choked on my kungaloosh.

Don't forget Britney spears 1 night annulled marriage from Las Vegas.

Just had to say October 6th is a special day for me too - it's my dd's birthday!!

May you both have many wonderful, happy, laughter filled years together!

 

[ThunderMTexpert]

i can't wait to wear my red for "gay week" this june!! me and my older sister both will PROUDLY support our red!! i'm actually very excited bc i think it's BEAUTIFUL.

Hello! My name is Amy, Im not gay but I just got finished reading a thread on the Disney for Families board about a woman who asked if she should be scared of Gay day, I didn't post my opinion there because they would probably flame me for it, but I vented to my mother who feels just like I do. In my eyes, you can't keep avoiding Gay activities or people. Its another way of life to me, just like me being married to a man is my way of life and do people look down on me? The whole "oh no Gay Day" thing is totally ridiculous and I would never lower myself to the point where I must hide my kids from them, its not like its a disease thats contagious. My uncle is Gay he lives with his boyfriend and I would never hide my girl's from him because of his lifestyle. Well I just wanted to get this off my chest, it was really bothering me when I read the post on the family board.

Not sure why Disney has to be the place for a political platform and to make a statement. Not sure why it is important to show gay pride and solidarity. On the receiving end, some gays rub it in the faces of those straight people going to Disney. I don't wear green, or whatever color, because I am straight (okay, everyone, let's wear green on the same day!!!). Everyday is straight day, is that what you're trying to convey? I just don't get it. Sorry. It's like the St. Patty's parade in South Boston. Why? The teeshirt that says something like "airfare, $200, hotel room $400, look on people's faces...priceless." It's like you're looking for controversy. I mean, really, go, have a great time. Don't turn it into a circus like I have seen.

Although I don't wear red, nor have I ever been to Gay Days, it's people like you and the mindset you have that make me reconsider.

I purposely wore red in the MK last year on Gay Day Saturday and I didn't notice any "circus" or orgies on Main Street, USA. Maybe I missed the memo? My DH and I had a blast and even more fun at PI that night.
