Im Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

You wanted the Cheaper tickets.

Did you not know to avoid GAY DAYS with children in tow?? This is your fault for buying the Gay Day tickets in the 1st place when you have children you are taking to DL!! Gay Days are for the Gay Convention and their chance to go enjoy DL as Gay People 1 week end of the year.

If you saw more than you wanted, you are at fault. And knew what might happen. So, don't blame the Gays. For your mistakes. You wanted the Cheaper tickets.

The people commenting did not buy the cheaper tickets. I didn't even know there were cheaper tickets for Gay Days. I'm sure all the straight families who showed up at the gate this weekend were required to pay full price. I have an AP, so I didn't have advance notice when I attended last year. As others have mentioned, gay families include children as well. Given my experience last year, I would not have been prepared to witness what the OP saw this year. It wasn't a private party for gays. They knew people, gay and straight, would be there with their children when they got dressed that morning. It's not about being gay or straight, it's about being a decent person in public!

Overall, sounds like you had a wonderful time at DL! Too bad some people didn't dress and act appropriately. I am looking forward to reading your trip report.

I's not an official Disney event, it is organized through a separate group.

oh I see, thanks for letting me know... I have nothing against it I was just wondering why Disney would single out a group... But they aren't!

If you can find love in this world we live in today power to ya, whether it be a man, woman, whatever

I am so not for PDA! But then again I rather my ds see affection, rather than violence...

I agree with the other poster - morals are morals; my best friend is a gay man. He was even a member of my bridal party and brought his boyfriend to all of our events; I have no problem with that and adore him - no matter his sexuality.

But, gay or straight, no one should be walking around a family-oriented park with obscene language on their clothing. Additionally, no one should be walking around with their rear-end hanging out of their shorts, either. Granted, no matter sexual orientation, there are always going to be inconsiderate people out there. I'm going to give OP the benefit of the doubt that she'd have the same feelings she has now if the people that offended her had been straight, instead.

What stinks though is there are the gays out there that use their sexuality for things like those actions spoken about and will throw the "it's because I'm gay" card out if they're called out about it. Be free to do what you want, but respect over people, too. I highly, highly doubt the people that were dressed or acted inappropriately have children of their own. It's one thing to raise a child to be completely open-minded, but another to teach them not to respect other people by ignoring sociably acceptable manners.

My friend, btw, HATES gays who go out and act/dress like that in public; he will all out call them out about it too. He always says, if you want to be treated normal, act normal; if you want to be treated differently, do things that are going to make you seem rude/inconsiderate. It doesn't matter your sexuality. DLR is a family place - whether it's "gay days" or not. No one should be acting/dressing like that there, period.

This just seems like a very rude post. The behavior the OP witnessed was inappropriate, gay or not. Could have happened on any other day as well between any 2 people. The shirts they saw were inappropriate. I would think Disney would do a better job of not allowing those types of t-shirts seeing as how a child over the age of 10 is not allowed to wear a princess costume but an adult can wear a t-shirt with profanities all over it.

Your friend is 100% there! No one should be acting that way, no matter what their sexuality is. Disney shouldn't tolerate it either. They may not host the event, but they do offer deep discounts in hotels and tickets. I think those in any convention need to act appropriately. I'll say it again too, that goes for any convention. Should just be part of the rules.

It's a family place, and we know of gay families with little children as well. They would never want their children seeing such behavior from gay or straight people. Just not right.

First of all many, many people were not aware of Gay Days let alone cheaper tickets. I have an AP and have gone in the past on Gay Day weekends.

DL is a place for everyone to go to everyday! Just becuase an unoffical Gay Day event is happening does not mean I should expect to see inappropriate behavior. If the sponsors of the unoffical Gay Day event want to condone that type of behavior then they need to do like Miley Cyrus did for her b-day and buy the park out - ofcourse then the tickets might not be so cheap.

I have many gay friends who would never act in such a manner. I have straight friends who would never act in such a manner.

I also see no reason why Gay people cannot enjoy DL more than one weekend out of the year. Do not use the excuse of the convention for giving people the right to behave inappropriately.

 

[chargergirl]

I don't really agree with you. Granted, the people on this board may have been aware of Gay Days, but I know there has to be plenty of people who had no clue. I have lots of posts on this board and was only aware of it last week as there were threads started about it. That's how much it concerns me. I didn't even know when it was. There are also folks that don't know about fastpass, ps or MMs. It was also Miley Cyrus Birthday so there were alot of young children in attendance. It was also MTOT time
Now I truly believe that every one has their right to personal freedoms and liberties. BUT... everyone, gay or straight should practice a certain decoram in public. Gay or straight- no obsene shirts, clothes that do not fit properly. (just because they make it in your size does not mean you have to wear it), foul language and above all, PDA of the gay and straight variety.
Gay Days is not a Disney sponsered event. Anyone can enjoy Disney any time of year. Disney does not say "all gays welcome and have as much nooky as you want in line for Alice. Make the Storybook boats your personal bed" just as they do not say all heteros "have at it". I am straight but my DH and I never flaunt our "rights" of straightness by groping each other in front of children. I have lots of gay friends who have children and I can assure you they do not approve of that type of behavior from anyone either, regardless of their persuasion.
If a gay person feels they need to express their "freedom" only once a year, I feel sad for them. If you want to be more liberated then do what others do. Go to adult only beaches. Go on a cruise that has adult only decks. Go to a resort that is adult only. That way ALL parents have the heads up to keep their children away. I am offended that some on this board would presume that this is a gay straight thing. In my opinion, it is more of what we as parents (gay or straight) have to deal with every day. It's hard enough to teach our children to read let alone explaining why that guy has his hand on that girl's chest or why that man has his hand on that man's rear.
With the MTOT party selling out on certain days thus leaving those who wanted to attend limited options AND the Miley Cyrus thing, I think it is unfair to say that the folks who went this weekend should have known better. The folks, gay or straight who acted like such fools should have known better and saved that type of activity for after hours 18 and older clubs. Gay days or not, straight or not, teenagers or not, this type of behavior is not appropriate in public. It is definatley not appropriate at Disney

Well said. This is not a Disney sponsored event and anyone should be able to go at any time of the year regardless. Adults (gay or straight) need to realize that children are around and show some sort of restraint! I would have been upset at the shirts and constant PDA whether someone was gay or straight. I had some friends go this weekend who had no clue what was going on. He called me from DL explaining some of the walking billboards that were being displayed. Just because its a certain weekend doesn't give anyone the right to act like it's an adults only park. Disneyland should not have let anyone in with an offensive shirt like that.

I have a hard time swallowing this… I’ve said this many many times, we went to Gay Days last year knowing it was Gay Days and NOT using the cheaper tickets and had a wonderful time. I did not see any inappropriate PDA’s or any disrespectful shirts. It’s unfortunate the OP had to experience what her and her family did and because of a few bad eggs had to ruin it for the group…

first off, what cheaper tickets? i bought mine FULL PRICE then upgraded to an AP. so get your facts straight.

second, i planned my trip waaaay before i even knew there were 'gay days' and my room was already paid for..

third, my son is only 19 months old. he doesnt understand anything he saw during our trip. i am upset for what all the other parents in the park had to go through who had children, who did understand that stuff, and for myself and family too; even as adults, we dont want to see that.

i have nothing against gays; i have many family members who are gay, but they act like normal human beings. why do they have to be so damn flashy and loud and say nasty things in public?...........AT DISNEYLAND?! i went thinking they would be respectful of the children and families there, but that was not the case. to most of them, it was all about sex and hooking up in front of everyone. like if the red shirts weren't enough..they needed to SHOW us they were gay

and who said they shouldnt enjoy DL as gay people? are they only gay one weekend a year? they could go any time as gay people and ENJOY DL. these people were enjoying themselves way more than DL....

thank you to everyone for your support on this...no matter what day of the year it is, i think we ALL, gay or straight, young or old, boy or girl, have the right to enjoy DL with out disrespectful behavior like this.

what you do in the bedroom should not change how you act in public. gays can be normal, some just choose not to.

ill be on later tonight with a TR and pics take care everyone and thanks again!

I don't really agree with this. Gay days or not, people need to know how to act properly in public. Just because it's a weekend to be out and proud, you don't need to dress innapropriately, or act inappropriately.

QFT!!!

 

[Gisele]

Welcome back! Princess Plazola!

It sounds like you had a most wonderful and fantabulous time at Disneyland! YAY!
I am looking forward to reading more about your vacation.
I bet you and your family looked terrific in costume, and your little boy, sure
must have looked awfully cute, too.
I sure am sorry to hear, that rude people ended up placing a damper upon your Disney experience! I know what that can be like.
Anyway, apart from that uncouth behavior that a number of people had exhibited,I am really very glad and happy to know, that you and your family had a great time! And good for you! AP's, ah, the possibilities.

 

[Gisele]

Well said Princess!

are they only gay one weekend a year?

He he! I most heartily agree as well, with the above quote! Good one! and so very, very true at that!

 

[Hound 109]

I'm gay, but those inappropriate types of gays really get on my nerves

I wouldn't care if they acted like that in some 18+ night club, but this is Disneyland for pete's sake... and just because it's Gay Days doesn't mean there aren't any kids around.

I agree with the person that said it shouldn't matter if you're gay or straight.
Manners are manners & morals are morals.

Some people need to learn what decency is.

Great post, Lights Out.

Agreed....& looking forward to the TR & pics.

 

[toocherie]

I am sorry you saw inappropriate behavior---I knew it was Gay Days going in and was prepared to see things I normally don't However, the only PDA I saw was between a teenage boy and girl. I also didn't see any inappropriate t-shirts.

I have seen t-shirts with messages I thought were inappropriate in the past--I really think the DL CMs need to be on the lookout for these type of things given the family nature of the park.

 

[olivejuice]

Cant wait to see pictures! Im glad you had fun.

 

[DisneyMomma81]

Sounds like all in all a good trip ~ sorry you had to put up with some bad things. I can't wait to read & see more.
