JCP did the same thing, and apparently no one was supporting the idea that this shirt was a GOOD message for girls. So guess which way they decided.

As an aside - because this drives me crazy - Disney does not sponsor Gay Days - various and sundry QUILTBAG groups organize it and go to the parks, just like any other group. It drives me crazy when Christians don't do their homework and boycott Disney because an outside group goes to the parks. I guess some might argue that Disney should somehow use gaydar to refuse admittance to those there for Gay Days, but those people are what I like to call stupid.

I was just looking at the Gay Days site - apparently they have a parade down the Main Street of Disney? I don't think you could say that's "like any other group."

And what site is that? I'm guessing - non-Disney. Look on the DISNEY site - nothing. Disney EVERY DAY has a Main Street Parade which features guests - IT IS NOT A SPECIAL DISNEY SPONSORED PARADE FOR GAY DAYS. Disney decided early on to simply treat all their guests the same - so if a large group comes for Gay Days, they will be given the opportunity to join ALL the other guests.

So, yes. "Like any other group". If your sorority decides to descend en mass to the Magic Kingdom in matching shirts, you too can have your "own" parade.

No, that's (one of) Disney's daily parade and there are so many people in the GayDays Red shirts that it's a sea of red.
