On a nicer topic...
I have a 4 year old princess who is just starting to become aware of the world around her, although she seems to be developing an excellent gaydar where she spends her time flirting with any gay waitstaff
So far we have told her it is perfectly ok to have 2 mummies, 2 daddies or a mum & a dad and it is ok whatever arrangement she ends up in.
Thankfully a lot of Australian legislation and community seems to be more accepting than that in the USA with same sex couples having "virtually" the same rights as hetero couples - finance, IVF, custody, superannuation, health benefits and many prominent community leaders are members of same sex couples.
my question - As a hetero family, if we were in WDW around gay days - is there some way we can show our support for the LGBT community being able to express affection with their life partners. Rainbow pins? Colourful t-shirts??
I wonder if Corey's company wants to set up shop in Australia?
The parks sell a rainbow striped Mickey head pin. The Gay Days crowd usually wears red shirts, or you could browse some T-shirt sites for something appropriate. We belong to HRC (Human Rights Campaign) and they have a shop on their website with T-shirts, caps, and so forth.
Even if you aren't wearing something like that, just being friendly is a good way to show your support. Chat with folks in queues or whilst waiting for parades.
I am straight, so hopefully some of our GLBT frieds will have some more suggestions for you!
Great response. Back in the day, I lived in a house with 7 other women. Only one of them was straight. She was very cute and had lots of women disappointed when we would throw parties. Finally, I found the perfect gift for her, it was a t-shirt that said "Straight but not narrow." It solved the problem, but it didn't stop the girls from asking me, if I was sure that it was true. I told them that since she was by best friend in the world, if anyone would know for sure, it would be me because she would be "mine" first. FYI - she's still straight, married to a guy with my exact personality, and has two kids.
