Walt disney was gay
Disney’s Queer Track Record: A Troubled History
In Ron DeSantis’ astonishingly pointless vendetta against Walt Disney World, it seems the Florida governor’s favorite insult to utilize against the corporation is “wokeness.” Ever since former CEO Bob Chapek criticized the governor’s homophobic and transphobic Parental Rights in Education Act — which forbids discussion of gender and sexual identity in universal schools — DeSantis and his supporters have repeatedly accused the entertainment conglomerate of “echoing Democrat propaganda,” and engaged in a cruel legal battle over Disney World’s self-governing tax status that’s proved a large headache for the express.
To hear DeSantis explain it, you’d think Disney World was a paradise for gays, and Mickey himself threw the first brick at Stonewall. That’s hyperbole, yes, but not by much. The truths makes Disney look far less rosy. For starters, Chapek (who has since been fired and replaced with his predecessor Bob Iger) initially stayed mum on the act — even as multiple other companies took active stances against the bill and the publi

I will wait down the middle on this but, something that amazes me is that when someone mentions they don't need to take their kids to something like this........................the male lover supporters jump and say they are basically biggots and wrong for feeling that way..............then they follow it by saying everyone has a right to be the way they want. Inconsistent to me.
If you are gay. satisfactory. However, if someone disagrees, fine. Grant it be.
If they dont hope to take their kids to something like that, you dont have to know why. They are not entitled to give you an explanation, and you should respect that opinion.
Same thing goes for religious things. If there is a Christian group at Disney, some Muslims may not go. So my point is, be who you want to be, but just as you don't prefer someone slamming on your belief, respect theirs when they disagree with yo
Gay Days
My kind is that it has, in fact, moved to August but that some people are speculating there will still be a crowd that goes in June more out of habit than any official event.MisterPenguin said:
Aren't there now two Gay Days dates because of a split in the organizers?

Of course. As I said, I've been to WDW during the last two Gay Days and I'm going again this August. I haven't kept my daughters away and I have no problem with the event, so please decrease the mocking tone. However, it's disingenuous when folks like to pretend that the crowd at Gay Days is pure as the wind-driven snow. There are bad apples. Have you ever actually looked at the marketing for the event? It's sexually explicit. I'd have the equal reservations visiting during a massiveMisterPenguin said:
As far as risque shirts leave, I see the heterosexual ones all the time. A guy was wearing one that said, "She likes the D" with the 'D' in the iconic Walt Disney font. Will no one think of the children being exposed to something so unfunny? It can damage their sense of humor for life!!

His name was Tommy Kirk. He was the all-American teen sensation, and one of Disney’s principal young men. He had the naive, clean-cut image of the boy next door. But underneath, there was something he had to hide: his sexuality.
Walt Disney and his studio had a reputation for creature very conservative. Walt Disney himself was a strident imperialist, supporting the U.S. efforts against Communism during the Red Scare. He was a McCarthyist is every sense, from promoting middle-class American values worldwide in many of his post-World War II films, to actually testifying before Congress against several writers he suspected of Communist views.
Needless to say, his attitude towards gays wasn’t very flattering either. To him, Tommy Kirk was supposed to be the ideal of American boyhood: witty, charming, adventurous, masculine. And vertical. Very, very straight.
Tommy Kirk was discovered at 13, in 1954, while carrying out at Pasadena Playhouse. He would later audition for the Mickey Mouse Club, as well as landing several petty film and tv roles. His biggest one was playing Joe Hardy in The Hardy Boys, second only to his famous co-star Tim Considine, who played his brother.
