Florida group flies plane over Disney World to warn visitors of ‘Gay Day’
Source: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan

The Florida Family Association spent $7,000 to have an aircraft to fly near Disney World on Friday and Saturday with a banner that warned visitors of "Gay Day."

"Gay Day" is a six day celebration of gay and lesbian pride held in Orlando, FL, with Saturday spent at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom.

The Florida Family Association claimed that the event offends thousands of unsuspecting families with "same-sex revelry" and that Disney should require special events like "Gay Day" to be held after normal operating hours.

"Many Gay Day patrons wore shirts that promoted homosexuality, kissed, hugged and groped in very public places and dressed in drag all to the curiosity of tens of thousands of children," the group said.

2. These people are insane...
Insane with fear and hatred.

Little do they know that the more they promote that fear and hatred, the more the need for events like "Gay Day" become necessary.

The more the wingers resist the acceptance and normalization of people who are just like they are, except for the fact of who they love, the more the need for non-hetreros and their hetero allies to struggle to make that acceptance and normalization possible… A struggle which, in itself, seems to scare the wingers into this state of apoplexy.

Wouldn't it be better if gays were treated like "normal" people in this country?

Hell. Who celebrates their normality and acceptance by and of others?… Anyone? Isn't merely a fact that when we simply live our lives and allow others to live theirs, it reduces the need to point out that any of us are somehow "different"?

Our winger friends should just give up… Give up the fear and hatred. Give up the judgmentalism. Give it all up and embrace and accept people who are unlike themselves. If they do that, I know that they'll be much better and happier people.

Hey! They'll be more like Mr. Rogers and Jesus in the long run and everyone else can get along with their lives.
