Disney really is screwed up.Follow

Lol, the both he was refering to is both of the posters who were taking about that quote before you, not the two bands.

Maybe, I know my old drill sergeant used to say it all the time.

Yes, and the amount of blatant bullsh[/b]it going around makes ME want to vomit.

Disney does *not* officially host Gay Day. Gay Day at Disneyland (or Disney World, or any other Disney-owned theme park) is a social event organised by various groups of gay people, set for a given day of the year, and held at Disneyland. Disney is aware of when the event is set for every year, but they don't officially support the event in any way. Throngs of ****** just show up, buy a ticket, and Disney lets them in just like anyone else that shows up at the gates to the park that day. Their park is open to the public, whether there're herds of free-range **** roming around or not.

Trust me on this, I AM gay and I HAVE been to Gay Day. Disneyland employees don't stop you at the gate and ask you to prove your sexual status before they let you in, that's just stupid to even imply it. Even on Gay Day you'll see a lot of (rather confused) families in the park. Disney does a great job of keeping unpleasant instances to a minimum. They don't have any problem with hand-holding, kissing or hugging between same-sex couples any more than they would with opposite-sex couples, but if someone is going out of their way just to make someone else uncomfortable, the park steps in. I've seen them toss trouble-making straight people out of the park, and I've seen them toss in-your-face gays out of the park too.

So yeah... I realise you're new here and all, but generally speaking we of the Asylum really appreciate it if you (a) cite your sources and (b) know what the fu[/b]ck you're talking about before you post. Misinformation from the mind of a moron is nobody's friend.

Edit: I think it's worth pointing out that Disneyland in Anaheim CA is also host to Raver Day once a year. On Raver Day, large groups of teenagers wearing lots of beads and bright colours and floppy hats roam around the park, popping ecstacy or LSD when nobody's looking and then tripping off the light effects in Space Mountain. That doesn't mean you have to be a cracked-out teenager with no fashion sense to get in on that day either.

We're the lower flat, you have to go around the back to get in. Quantas.com is running some specials, $1259 USD from Los Angeles to Auckland/Wellington. =D

Good deal. Gonna start saving my pennies now!

It does tend to take away from your overall point about discrimination IF THERE IS NO GOD[i][/i]DAM DISCRIMINATION, you nit.

Your post was about supposed special treatment. At Disneyland.

How, exactly, am I to extrapolate that to larger issues of society as a whole when you make a specific post about a specific issue in which you are absolutely off track?

WOW, what did i do? Lol i got 40+ replies on my first thread here...lol thanks. i never got that on the main forum.... i guess i will make this my main.... I made this in thinking it would not be looked at.. Next time i will try to make a more interesting topic to not waste your time.

First I was a Disney employee, and your information is incorrect. Disney does not prohibit any group, but rather has certain standards that are applied to all park goers. They are very good to their employee's although very strict with the adhearence to company rules. All of which is clearly stated up front before you are even hired.

I lived in Orlando when Disney voted to give gay partners health insurance, the park was picketed for weeks by the conservative sector of the population. Gay Day is not promoted by Disney, but we were all educated on sensitivity to issues not only to the gay community but for other speciality groups too.



Welcome to the Asylum! We are what we are, and you either like it or hate it! If you want politeness and warm fuzzies go to the OOT forum. Although sometimes hugs are handed out to deserving posters, and maybe a cookie or two!

I think the dude misses the point. His entire post was ******** about how Disney discriminates against straight people by preventing them from entering the park on a given day. I happen to know for a fact that this statement of his was utter bullsh[/b]it and I called him on it. That's fine, we all make mistakes. But trying to somehow say that he was changing the entire subject of the thread and that using Disney as an example was only to keep the rest of us from getting confused...? No.

Basically, it's as if we were all talking about sending astronauts to Mars. He comes in and says it'd just be fake like our mission to Venus was. I point out that there never was a mission to Venus, fake or no. Then he says he knows that but he was only trying to point out how communism is bad m'kay? That non sequitur deserves a hearty WTF.

By the way, Disney is consistently one of the most inclusive companies in the world to work for. Yes, they're a big corporation and yes, some of their policies are a bit... dodgy... in my opinion, but they have worked very hard to build a reputation for being non-discriminatory. So, I like the company. I'm glad Pixar's telling them to fu[/b]ck off, though. Disney's fine but Pixar rocks my world. ^_^

What the fu[/u]ck...
