Was Anyone At Disney During Gay Days??

[crisi]

I also don't get the "have to explain" - there are a few phrases we find useful as parents "because I said so" and "that isn't appropriate for kids" - a t-shirt that is inappropriate in public gets "that t-shirt is naughty and inappropriate for kids - ask me again what in means in five years."

We are a pretty open household and my kids went to daycare with a girl that had two moms - so the topic of sometimes women and women or men and men fall in love (or just plain old lust) is something we never needed to explain, it just was (which, frankly, made the whole thing so much easier). But there are lots of things in the world they get exposed to before I'm ready for the grownup explainations. (Mom, what are Nazis?, Mom, why don't you let me have Bratz?)

Personally, I think 5 years old is a little young to have to explain why men are kissing men and vice versa. I don't agree with it, therefore I am not going to explain it to her until age appropriate.

Just out of curiosity, where do you live that you haven't seen a single gay couple in 5 years? I don't know any gay people personally (though I did in high school/college), but I still see them around town, and dd5 has remarked on it once or twice. Didn't really get to choose when to explain it- dd saw it and asked, I explained. She just said "oh, ok" and went on to something else.

How were the crowds the first week of June this year?

They were awesome those 2 days when Barry came thru!! We did EVERY ride at MK in one day! Also did some twice! A little tropical storm didn't stop us! Otherwise the lines were okay.. if one ride was way too long 90min waits we came back later that night and did it before fireworks started... that seemed to be the best time to get on test track we did that 3 times with in 10 min... I'd go back that week in a second.. I was only at one of the parks where the "offical gays day" were... That day was the busiest of them all at MK...

My family was there (6/2-6/7) and we had a great time. In fact, the nicest folks we met were a couple of guys from NC. I would go again and not ever give it a second thought - we had a wonderful time at Disney!
