First 'Gay Days' event since pandemic takes place at Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld

An LGBT travel agency has designated Thursday as the first"Gay Days" event since 2019 in Walt Disney World and other theme parks across Orlando, Florida.

"Gay Days" is an event sponsored by a travel agency in Florida of the same name. It's a gathering of LGBT patrons that's meant to start Pride Month in June. Attendees gathered in Disney's Animal Kingdom, with similar events taking place in Orlando's SeaWorld and Universal Studios.The three-year hiatus has been a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which also closed several parks for a period of time.

“Gay Days began in 1991 as a single designated day when the LGBTQ community and friends were encouraged to ‘Wear Red and Be Seen’ while visiting the world’s most popular theme parks,” according to the agency's website. This latest celebration comes after Disney made headlines for its opposition to a state law banning gender and sexual education in classrooms of children under third grade.Since Disney came out against the law, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill removing the park's self-governing status. DeSantis plans to outline how the district will be dismantled in November. Meanwhile, Disney has lost approximately $50 million since getting involved in the conflict.

This! Did the school know in advance? Sounds like he comes from the “pull down your pants so I can inspect your genitalia” ilk. Wake up Ohio Maybe Jim should pursue a relationship with minding his own fucking business He made himself the center of attention instead of the graduates and their accomplishments. He should take his ignorant views back to the 1950s.
