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."
