There's a banner in Central Florida warning of Gay Day in Disney [View all]

"Warning: Gay Days at Disney 6/1" banner flown over Central Florida

A plane with the banner "Warning: Gay Days at Disney 6/1" is flying around Central Florida.

This morning, the plane appeared to be making loops from as far north as Altamonte Springs to as far south as Belle Isle, but it was hard to tell from the ground. The "warning" is in reponse to "Gay Days" at Walt Disney World, a tradition where thousands of gays gather at the theme park.

The "6/1" referes to June 1, the day Gay Days is held Walt Disney World.

As my collegue Sara Clarke reported in today's Orlando Sentinel, Walt Disney World has a neutral stance on the annual event, though the company offers several items for sale during the weekend, including rainbow mugs and red tank-tops. (Many of those in attendence wear red in order to be recognized.)
