Second Homosexual Event
Scheduled at Disney World

(CNSNews.com) - The Family Pride Coalition
announced it has picked Father's Day weekend, June 17-20, for its
first-ever gathering at Walt Disney World in Orlando,
Fla.
"This official Family Pride event...has been specially
designed for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) parents
and their families," the group said in a press release.
The
Family Pride gathering will take place two weeks after "Gay Days" at
Disney World -- an annual June event since 1991.
Family Pride
said its weekend will include a welcome reception, educational
workshops presented by the Family Pride Coalition, a family dance, a
kids' night out, family brunches, the Family Pride Coalition's 25th
anniversary gala dinner, and all the fun of the Walt Disney World
Parks and Resorts' attractions.
"Disney has been a wonderful
support in the planning of a very special and exciting weekend for
our families," said Aimee Gelnaw, executive director of the Family
Pride Coalition.
The Family Pride Coalition, an advocacy
group, says it is dedicated to advancing the well-being and the
equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered parents and
their families through mutual support, community collaboration, and
public understanding.
Conservative groups have long blasted
Disney World for its annual Gay Day event, which is not sponsored by
Disney World, but which is implicitly endorsed by the Disney people,
conservatives complain.
Critics are troubled that Disney
allows its name to be used in connection with the "Gay Days" event.
"Let's be honest," Christian Action Network President Martin
Mawyer told CNSNews.com last year. "Disney would never allow
an event to be called 'KKK Days at Walt Disney World...Disney would
use every legal muscle within their power to have their name removed
from that event."
