Well, being gay myself, I have a couple of comments, but they aren't all pro-gay-day. I myself think that unless the "it's a gay world after all" chorus was a sanctioned Disney event, that it was inappropriate in a public family theme park, especially at 3 pm when the little kids are there. The gay groups should be able to walk around with matching t-shirts if they want or hold hands if they want, and just generally feel the camaraderie of seeing all the other gays there, but the public singing seems a little over the top, unless Disney actually told them they could do it, in which case that would then be Disney's decision. On the other hand, getting on a MK monorail and just standing there, no kissing, not even holding hands- and getting dirty looks and made to feel uncomfortable by the straight couples isn't right either ( which happened to me). I could just tell by the look they were purposely giving that they were thinking "you shouldn't be here, why don't you just leave", and that wasn't good behavior either. I purposely didn't say anything so as to not start an incident, but I wasn't happy. So, I think there's some things going on with both sides, and it's just going to take a lot of time before gays are more accepted, and some gays won't need to make a scene to proclaim their gayness anymore. It's just going to take time, and as it all happens, I'm just going to try to be as polite as I can with everybody, and hope others do the same.
