    Good; why anyone feels like the genitalia they prefer should have anything to do with Disney is a problem.

    Also good typical insidethemagic slant on the truth, calling the Laws in Florida hostile. Apparently not having discussions with children regarding butt plugs and anal sex and other adult topics behind the children’s parents backs is HOSTILE. Apparently not cutting off healthy organs of a child or providing chemical sterilization is HOSTILE.

    If a child went to their parent saying they wanted to identify as a pirate would a sane medical professional cut off one of their healthy functioning legs and pop out one of their eyeballs?…

      By not supporting Disney and standing by Disney you’re giving in to that Dictator DeSantis. I hope Disney floyrishes with breaking numbers of visitors

      1. Larry

        Cheryl, he’s not a dictator. The fear is children being manipulated. Disney needs to stay out this weird way of life like drag queens.

        1. talkwithjacob

          Weird “way of life?” It’s just clothes, relax. And the Florida Governor is the one who is gunning for attention and went about it by creating more rules on decisions that should be made between a family and a doctor. We live in a country founded on freedom.

          1. JJGroves

            Has absolutely nothing to do with cloths. Nobody cares about clothes. Don’t be silly and disingenuous.

        2. John

          Ignorant

      Right on S! Our news media no longer reports actual news or the truth, but what they want to brainwash everyone into believing. Sadly we have more “sheep” in our society then we have leaders and individuals, or people just willing to do their own research instead of jumping on somebody else’s bandwagon.

      1. Andrea

        DeSantis is not a dictator and the story is a lie! We, as parents don’t need this stuff told to our kids or thrown in our faces. Disney should stay out of politics and stick to families and people enjoying a magical day at the parks as it use to be. They should concentrate on the issues going on at the parks now, like the fights on the lines, stealing of strollers, etc.

        1. John

          Yes heaven forbid they stand up against bigotry and Hate

    3. Colleen Siskar

      Omg. Get a life. Learn how others live outside your bubble

    4. lorraine

      I believe its the parents jobs to talk to their children when they ask questions. Its not the schools job. Children should only be given short answers that will satisfy them . Desantis is protecting children from people that want them to learn things too adult for them to understand

      1. talkwithjacob

        Exactly what you said: its the parents job to talk to their children, not a fear-mongering opportunist Governor passing mandates that deny peoples existence.

    5. Lori

      Good, if they feel that waving their sexuality all over public, in front of children is more important, than stay home. Have some common decency. No one cares who you have sex with! Our governor stands to protect our children.

    6. Linda

      You obviously are getting your information wrong
      This is not how it is & the people who want to visit WILL be unsafe.
      Your governor has unleashed the hate

  2. Clyde

    We have always felt safe at WDW & parents have a right to be able to take their family to have a good time with no agenda attached
    There’s no need for a Pride celebration. If there is let’s have a White, Asian,Indian etc. celebration. It’s asinine. WDW is a vacation spot for all to go to no matter who you are.

  3. Steve

    I think no matter what race we are from Disney is open to all gender. Because of the way our society is today, (full of hatred)its going to get worse due to the fact that we are in end times. The world is supposed to become more and more corrup, so full of hate.

    1. Idontcare

      You people have been saying we’re in the end times for the last 2,000 years and it never happens. Grow up. Daddy Jesus ain’t coming back with that gallon of milk he went to the store to get.

    2. lorraine

      I definately see that with the current administration in washington. Horrible

  4. Roxanne Viccaro

    Why such shock? Did Dis ey not expect this? Let children be children as long as they can.

  5. Bella

    Good, no one wants their display of sick behavior in public anyway. Disney needs to stop this celebration of mental illness and perversion also.

    1. talkwithjacob

      The only mental illness present is your disdain for anyone slightly different than yourself.

    2. John

      Hate much

  6. A

    Apparently the thousands of gay people who showed up for Gay Days did not get the memo…give me a break…we are a two mom family and passholders none of that crap is true

    1. Dan F.

      A friend came back from WDW after a late spring break visit when the crowds were down. Their 14 y.o. son and 12 y.o. daughter were constantly “oogled and flirted with” at Magic Kingdom. They left MK as soon as they could (2:00 PM) and didn’t go back. They were VERY uncomfortable !!!! They told me the gay displays were constant….they felt like they were in a stage show.

  7. I’m backing Ron DeSantis! Doing his part to keep America the way it should be.

    1. Colleen Siskar

      What? Your type of life is the only way to live. Read or travel

    2. Colleen Siskar

      Ron. Really. Take away all we worked for. Hope you don’t get pregnant

  8. RickTR

    Good! Stay home! Go to San Fransisco!

  9. Susan

    Who cares! I have no problem what they do just leave innocent children out of it.

  10. It saddens me to see that the dollar bills be more to them than human beings at the end of time we are still human we still bleed the same blood how can you run this for your family I’m 59 going to be 60 and I’ve never had the pleasure of going there it was on my bucket list I wanted to see the teacups since I was a little girl and watch Disney every every Sunday I’m missing things like that he ought to be ashamed of yourselves now it just shows me you don’t care about nobody but that green dollar bill it ain’t going to buy you into heaven and it ain’t going to buy you into hell that you’re the ones got to answer to God not me

    1. Lisa

      Punctuate much?

    2. talkwithjacob

      Bucket List Idea: travel to a Disney Park. See first-hand what a place built around inclusion, respect, and happiness looks like. There’s something magical about a place that puts irrational hatred towards people in the trash where it belongs.

  11. Kim

    Disney sucks anyway! They rape you of your hard earned money! A pedophile that worked at a Disney World restaurant just got arrested in Poke County. His child targets were infant to 6 years old ! You really want to take your children there? Disney should have stayed neutral and not pick a side! They imploded themselves. Good luck!

    1. talkwithjacob

      1- If you don’t want to spend money, then done leave the house.
      2-If you’re worried about Pedos, please avoid any/all churches.
      3-Have a great day.

  12. BlueCollarCritic

    How can those of us in other states also discourage vacation visits from this same group? We’ve had enough of the rainbow pride being shoved down our throats. Perhaps California would take them all in at least before it collapses and is unable to.

  13. Dieter

    The issues attributed to Florida are all scare tactics. No one cares if you have a trans or other type of child, if you are black, white, yellow or purple. The issue is leave the topic of sex away from our small children. So called Travel advisories are a hoax.

  14. Meme

    I find most of the stories on this web sight are just that, stories

  15. Jason M

    Florida is Hostile?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg! Then Stay on LA.!

    1. Robert

      Yes Jason, Gay, straight, and people who accept others and don’t hate will ALL stay out of your hateful, backwards state. See my other comment for the few bucks Florida won’t be getting any of, mainly because of people like yourself.

      We welcome you here though, because we accept you how you are, even if you’re a miserable, hate filled sociopath. It takes all kinds in this world, even your kind. 🙂

  16. Idontcare

    I wonder how much more ridiculous that acronym can get. I feel very bad for the gay community. Their rights movement was co-opted by a bunch of mentally ill people.

    1. talkwithjacob

      I’d rather have an inclusive acronym than apathy for a name.

  17. lorraine

    The only problem I have is it being shoved at me at every corner……I have no problem with gays, lesbians , straights or transgenders working at DW. All cast members have been very kind to us.

  18. Robert

    Our company canceled our convention in Florida and axed all of our hotel, dining, and Disney World plans. We believe in equality. 214 of us would have easily spent over $700,000 as a grossly conservative estimate. We are actively rescheduling everything to the Anaheim resort area. Meatball Ron wins again!

    1. Mickey

      Disneyland is so much better anyway. You’ll be happy you did.

    2. AH

      Obviously you are clueless about what Florida has done. Maybe you should engage your brain before spouting off.

  19. Robert

    Beyond all of that, why spend money in a state where people hate you? Don’t support the people or the politics of hate. Speak with your money, and organize people online to join in boycotting Florida and anywhere else you’re disrespected.

    It took us months to cancel and reschedule our entire company’s plans and itinerary that were scheduled, and mostly reserved, by January 2023. It was a huge headache and we still haven’t tied up the loose ends, but as a whole, we decided to to support Florida in any way. Florida was supposed to be THE place every other year starting in 2023. Now it will be California and Las Vegas alternating, and getting all of our business. Vote with your money and organize others. That’s the best advice I can give you.

  20. Who, me?

    You have all the same rights as straight people, period. Born a female – girls room.
    Born a male – boys room.
    What you don’t have as per your post is 100% acceptance and that will never happen. Human nature has us wired that way, to recognize and reject that which is out of place. You will always be accepted as a human being, but your sexuality as a norm….no.
    Sorry to see you go to such an extreme.

  21. Johnny blues

    The insane response is a misguided reflection if liberal propaganda. Florida and Desantis have never been anti anything. They just don’t want you jamming your confusion down our children’s throats. If you are sick enough to buy the liberal hatred….stay home. Florida doesn’t need your money or your hatred

    1. talkwithjacob

      They aren’t trying to jam anything down your throat. They’re just asking for acknowledgement and respect of their existence. There is nothing scary about respecting someone’s right to exist. Something that ACTUALLY IS very scary is when a government entity steps in and starts mandating college curriculums, schoolbooks based on facts, or a family-doctor decisions. This country was founded on freedom, not a christian-nationalism dictatorship.

  22. Tarsey

    Good, less people traveling to the parks means less lines.
    I really don’t see a bad side to this.

  23. Who me?

    Gay, trans have all the same rights straights do. What the common denominator in all of the pro gay posts are is they Want to be seen and accepted.”
    That is most likely not going to happen on the level you’re demanding, yes demanding.
    Men in heels, makeup is not the norm, it makes most people uncomfortable. So why force it?
    And having surgery, especially on a minor, not for a physical need but a mental one is horrific.
    Go to Disney and enjoy it…EVERYONE! Just leave your sexuality at home.

  24. Connie

    The Gay Pride week has been going on for many years. It is that now their lifestyle is being FORCED on the rest of society. Just live your life and STOP making a big show of it. That’s all.
