I never heard of gay days at Disney. Wow. I don't see why they would do that. Wouldn't a gay man or woman be able to attend the park on any day of the week?
Gay days is the reason the Southern Baptists boycotted Disney for many years.
And yes, they could go to the parks any day of the week. Who knows why Disney started that. Maybe to get more business?
Allow me to impart some knowledge since I've been on "the other side" of the issue. Gay Days occur the first week of June. It is not sponsored by Disney, but rather an outside group...and includes other local theme parks (ie. Universal) throughout the week. For this reason, Disney cannot stop the event because really they just are paying park guests who choose this time to come.
Saturday is traditionally the day they hit the magic kingdom. They always wear red shirts to distinguish themselves. Also, another note- even though Disney does not sponsor this event, they still are prepared to deal with any issues at guest relations. I've heard of them allowing families to transfer to another park if they can't deal with this particular "crowd" of people.
Honestly, I don't know how bad it is. I've only worked in the park once in the entire time I was there, and I was at a gift shop. It mostly seemed like another day to me, but when you're used to working with a lot of people who do not know the Lord in any way, you become somewhat accustomed to being around these people.
It can be a great opportunity of education for your kids. Sadly, many people in the Church choose to ignore the subject and pretend these people do not exist. However, I've found many of these people hurting just as much (if not more) than the average non-Christian. Therefore, many of them are more accepting of others because they've had their fare share of non-acceptance in their lives.
Sorry that I took over this thread, Trishy- I'm very passionate about this issue, and while I do not condone the actions of this behavior in any way-- I still love these people and believe that God has the power to deliver them from this behavior if they would just accept Him in their lives.

I worked in ex-gay ministry for 12 years, and agree with 99% of Tina's post. But if I was a parent, I would keep my child away from the park that day. I think that type of education can be premature.

Dude, I know! Most Thai restaurants serve family style so when you order it for yourself, it's enough to last a few meals. I love mine with shrimp! Medium hot please.
Our sermon was about Judaism in a Christian perspective. But apparently, there are just as many "denominations" in Judaism as there is in Christianity. Just like how we have Christian cults like JW, Mormon, etc... there are also Judaic forms as well like Kabbalah. I also learned a little more about the Fruits of the Spirits. Human beings in their sinful nature have always had the tendency to live in extremes. Whether you are corrupt in your sins or overly spiritual to point of practicing spiritual paganism, the Fruits of the Spirits are meant to bring balance to us. With love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc... it brings about balance that leads us to G-d. And I so realized even further just how blessed we are as saved Gentiles. Jesus actually didn't come for us originally but only for His people.

I've been thinking about that fact lately myself. It's humbling, isn't it?

One thing that was brought out is that just like fruit comes from within the plant that bears it, spiritual fruit has to come from within us. Just as a tree bears fruit after its seed, a person's spiritual fruit resembles the seed that is in us. Planting seeds of hate, envy, strife, etc. cannot produce fruits of love, joy, peace, etc.
It was very convicting. And very uplifting.

I would say since there is an endless source of Hawaiian foods,and other items that could be used as favors. I would say that using something that is of Japanese heritage to use as favors..

Right now Leis (along with everything else) are going to be EXPENSIVE. The cargo airline that brought in about 85% of everything from mail to food to flowers to supplies has gone bankrupt..Kaput (sp?)...Dead.
An this right on the cusp of May/Lei Day, Mothers Day, Graduation Season and Wedding Season. Oahu won't be so bad/ It is the other islands like Maui or Molikai (sp?) that will suffer. Because after stuff is flown in here. It has to go out usually by plane to the other islands.
It also depends on what kind of Lei. Some cost more than others.
But August things should be better.

Aloha Airline;s cargo division may be spared and,flights could resume as early as this afternoon if another airline steps in,and the bankruptcy court accepts it...

Just sitting here drinking my coffee.
So today on the island I have served up some iced kona coffee. I'll leave some plantation iced tea for Darcy though so she has something to drink.
