Gay Travelers Gather at Disney World to Vacation and Make a Statement – The Wall Street Journal

Tens of thousands of visitors arrive at Walt Disney World this weekend for an unofficial gathering of gay parkgoers. This year’s Gay Day, as the event is known, comes as Disney navigates political, customer and employee tensions over lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.

Disney has criticized Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, a GOP-led measure that bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity through third grade and limits it in later grades. Florida legislators hit back at the company, ending one of its long-held tax breaks.
