    WDW June Gay Days general Discussion Thread

    So just wanted to reassure everyone, in my personal experience, that WDW is indeed a safe environment year round, including Gay Days.

    Gay Days are traditionally built around the first Saturday in June. This year it is June 7, and following the normal schedule the designated parks are:

    Thursday June 5, Animal Kingdom
    Friday June 6, Disney Studios
    Saturday Jine 7, Magic Kingdom
    Sunday June 8, EPCOT

    The parks are unlock to the general public, it is not a private ticket event, unlike at Disneyland.

    While there are some private events, and one promoter is actually scheduling a week earlier than usual this year, including a personal ticket party at
    Typhoon Lagoon scheduled for May

    I&#;ll be traveling with a friend, whose wife hates traveling, so he goes with me often. Also in my party will be his 16 yo grandson. We&#;ll be at WDW June 4 to While we are doing the parks, the only one we&#;re doing on the designated afternoon is Magic Kingdom, it&#;s just the way our schedule worked out. I was also adj to book the DVC Moonlight Magic event at Typho

    The original gay-pride flag was hand-dyed by Gilbert Baker. It flew in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade on June 25, The flag consisted of eight stripes; Baker assigned specific meaning to each of the colors: hot pink: sexuality; red: life; orange: healing; yellow: sunlight green: nature; turquoise: magic/art; indigo/blue: serenity/harmony; violet: spirit.
     

    After the November 27, , assassination of openly gay San Francisco Urban area Supervisor Harvey Milk, demand for the rainbow flag greatly increased. As Baker ramped up production of his version of the flag, he dropped the warm pink stripe because of the unavailability of hot-pink fabric. In the flag was modified again. When hung vertically from
    the lamp posts of San Francisco’s Market Street, the center stripe was obscured by the verb itself. Changing the flag design to one with an even number of stripes was the easiest way to rectify this, so the turquoise stripe was dropped, which resulted in a six stripe version of the flag.

    In , the rainbow flag came to nationwide attention in the United States after John

    What is Pride Month and why is it celebrated in June?

    June 1 marks the start of Pride Month, kicking off a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) history, culture and resilience.

    The first Pride parade took place in Recent York City on June 28, , one year after the Stonewall Riots, and it was held alongside those in Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles as the inaugural protest march.

    Here’s the history behind Pride month, how it began, and how it’s used to commemorate the lives of LGBTQ individuals today.

    Pride Month stems from police harassment, Stonewall Inn riots

    Until a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in , homosexuality was considered a crime throughout the U.S. As a result, people who identified as LGBTQ would often meet in places targeted towards straight people, said Briona Simone Jones, an Audre Lorde visiting professor of queer studies at Spelman College in Atlanta.

    One of these meetup spots was the Stonewall Inn, a private club-turned-bar on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan.
