Unofficial 'gay days' have taken place at Disney Parks for some time and Disney has produced 'rainbow' collection merchandise for quite some time. Now Pride month happens each June as a celebration of this community. Since then, celebrations of Gay Pride (Pride as opposed to shame) have sprung up all over the world. The concept of 'Pride' began in New York City back in June 1969, when the Stonewall Riots occurred. I'm oversimplifying, but Stonewall is where gay patrons at a local bar pushed back when being harrassed by police. This event is considered the birth of the modern LGBTQIA+ movement. On a semi-related note, however, Disney Parks have just come out with a brand new collection of merchandise that is designed to both bring a positive message and support a good cause. These MousePlanet pages are meant to be a safe space to share our mutual love of all things Disney, so I'm not going to get into the sordid political details.
There's been a lot in the news lately about Walt Disney World and the state of Florida.
