Wow, I forgot to put on my anti-flame suit before making my posting in this thread.
First, all I said was that I have no intentions of being there (or in Orlando for that matter) for that weekend. I didn't say anything else about gay people or this upcoming event in Florida. This was started by GaryT977 saying that he will be there. All I said was that I won't be there. And for that simple message I got a LOT of flack from people.
As for my comment about Walt spinning in his grave, that was simply an expression that he would not approve of the way things are being run in his theme parks today. He made those parks with the intentions of families vacationing together, experiencing the magic and joy that surrounds the fantasy world they are paying dearly to enjoy. Seeing a man in high heels, shirtless, and strutting around the walkways is hardly the fantasy families pay for.
Walt Disney was a brilliant, conservative visionary who built his theme parks with the intentions of keeping them as tasteful and traditional as possible. The key part in the planning was for traditional families (mom + dad + children and/or family pet) to spend time in a magical world where they could relax and temporarily get away from real world problems. Back then Disneyland had standards and wouldn't allow males with long hair to enter the park. Today those standards are long gone. I bet that Walt would be sick to his stomach if he knew that his family oriented company was catering to homosexuals.
For those of you going I hope you have a great time in the theme parks. I love going there as much as you do.

Actually, Walt was cremated and his remains are interred at Forrest Lawn in Glendale, CA. So, he does have a grave. If he's rolling around in that grave it's probably because he looking for a cigarette. You get extra credit if you know about Robert B. Brown. Perhaps I should have posted this in the secrets section.

Walt also stood by an animator he employed and refused to fire him when he got pressure to get rid of the man because he was gay. The same way that the Disney company now stands by it's Gay and Lesbian employees by offering Domestic Partnership benefits. I think Walt set the precident and the company has followed through on his vision. He was obviously a visionary in many, many ways.
By the way, I also pay dearly to enjoy the parks.

Heading for the great escape.
I may have spent most of my life in a predominatly male hetrosexual enviroment, I find it strange that most of my working life has been spent dealing with situations that were originated by people of so called faith.
Perhaps if some practiced what the good books preached ( I include all denominations and branches of religion) there may be less requirement for people like me.
But if we are all equal why do some want to be classed as special? Now I know most of you are not lucky enough to be Scots, but youl just have to accept your deficiencies. As I except my spelling is pants.
