So you're saying that you're in favor of the activities that happen during Gay Day? Are you going to tell all of those innocent families to simply leave and "go to christian theme park" when they start seeing homosexuals getting "hot and heavy" with each other? Give me a break here people! Families and innocent people are going to be making trips to WDW to experience the Disney magic. They're not there to see homosexuals spreading their own kind of magic. Save the
inappropriate behavior for another place.

But when it comes to the "Is Homosexuality a choice issue" I must say loudly IT IS NOT!
Main Street USA was absolutely correct when he said "Strong opinions, no matter how strong, do not equal fact." Until science proves that homosexuality occurs in humans naturally without voluntary human thought/reasoning from interfering, then we have to assume that it was a person's choice to become homosexual. By the way, I have known quite a few homosexual people in my lifetime, and
all of them were completely unwilling to look at any scientific data that debated whether or not becoming homosexual occured naturally or voluntarily. They
all believed it occured naturally, and none of them could bring up any good reasons why they believe it happens that way. Just something to think about I guess.
What age were all of you when someone took you aside and said "Do you choose to be gay or straight? What? no one ever made you choose that?
It happened probably about the same time as when they asked "Do you choose to be a successful person in society, or are you going to fail and be a bum?" Those kinds of questions happen throughout a person's lifetime, though they may never actually be asked by a person. Just listen to that little voice inside and do what you think is the best thing to do. If you want to keep being a homosexual, then fine that's your decision. If you want to keep being a heterosexual, then fine that's your decision.
Until this double standard is gone, then events like Gay Days will be NECCISSARY to provide visibility to the fact that we are here. We are people that enjoy things that everyone else does, and we deserve the same respect that everyone else gets.
So you want to get respect by forcing your issues in front of thousands of innocent people trying to have a vacation? I'm sure that'll win them over real well. /sarcasm
You can't get respect when fellow homosexual people decide to show inappropriate PDAs in theme parks. That behavior only encourages people to not like homosexuals even more.
As I have said before,
many homosexuals are great people and wonderful members of society. There's nothing wrong with being gay. However, just because one is homosexual doesn't give them the right to display it in such ways in front of innocent people on vacation. There is a time and a place for everything, and theme parks don't qualify for either one.
Save the inappropriate PDAs for private establishments that welcome that sort of behavior.
