And if it does offend people, well we should just shut-up and let the liberals take over right? I have no problem boycotting Disney, same as Disney has no problem offending the he@# out of people. Seriously, would it be ok for a bunch of straight people to run around half naked in a FAMILY THEME PARK and promote sex? I doubt it.
You tell it like it is! Amen

jayswife: the 'Gay Day' thing did nothing to promote sex. Disney did not promote sex. It just seems (from what I've heard) they were neutral about it. The fact that the people who were doing those things were gay is irrelevant. In fact...I read somewhere they didn't even do them in the park (save for some kissing and dancing).

I agree about the Breast feeding, though. I've only ever seen one woman in my life breast feeding in the middle of a mall (with a towel covering her breast and her baby) and no one seemed to mind (save for some perverts who probably wanted the towel to fall off XP)...so I have no experience with a mother being kicked out for Breast feeding her baby. Though I'm sure it happens.

So...the issue shouldn't be 'HOMOSEXUAL sex acts in a family theme park' but 'SEX acts in a family theme park'

I'm all for self expression...but there is a limit.

Now...the child labor. There's a reason to boycott disney. I'm wondering though...if one of your children wanted to see an animated disney movie (I mean young child...5-7y/o) whilst you were on your boycott, what would you tell them?

Truncate is on a distinguished road
Textiles (clothing), toys, harddrives, PCs, recreational vehicles (rollerblades, skates, bikes), household items, etc.; the vast majortiy of these items are produced in china/malaysia/india/taiwan/bangladesh and other low-priced, bad-treatment, sweatshops/warehouses, much of the work done by children.

These products are sold at Walmart, McDonalds, and any store in your local mall or plaza.

Why does Disney stand out from the commercialist-corporate crowd, so to speak?

I definately will boycott Disney because they are standing on the side of evil here with the homosexuality and nonsence. Their founder would roll over in his grave if he knew what they were doing and supporting. He was a God fearing person who respected decency. I can not think of anything more indecent than the homosexual lifestyle. It is a perversion that causes child molestation. Just look at all the priests that the news was saying molested childeren. The child in almost all cases were the same sex of the molester. That is a known fact.

Maybe a bigger endeavor than one thinks. Folks will have to get a program inorder to find out what Disney doesn't have their hands in.

Like I said...that's irrelevant. Does something make you think there weren't homosexuals just enjoying the park/minding their own bussiness? Or heterosexuals who were having a little 'fun' and weren't video taped?

It's not the people. It's the acts.

And how knows...maybe they did those things because they were being video taped (unless they didn't know they were being taped). The same way some straight girls will show their breasts for the camera.

So...once again. Act. Not people. Act. Not people.

There is no homosexual lifestyle. It is not linked to child molestation. Pedophilia and homosexuality are two seperate thing. In fact, it is KNOWN FACT that most Pedophiles are HETEROSEXUAL men.

If heterosexuals make up the preponderance of child molesters in raw numbers, it is not surprising. Heterosexuals, after all, make up more than 97% of the population.

A more accurate assessment, however, would compare ratios of population size to incidences of involvement in pedophilia. In this regard, according to the National Association on Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), in proportion to their numbers, homosexual men are more likely to engage in sex with a minor.

Citing a study (Freund and Watson, 1992) which was reported in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, NARTH found that homosexual males were “three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations.”

I'd like to see a link to that. I had always read that roughly ten percent of any animal population displayed homosexual tendencies.
