Now, popular Disney W orld attractions such as Typhoon Lagoon water park and the Pleasure Island nightclub hold related parties and perfor mances. According to a story in the June 3 Seattle Post'Intelligencer, what started out in 1991 as a single day has now grown to a tour-dav weekend that draws more than liXVXC people— and cor porate sponsors. “I don’t know if its a more accepting atti tude, but our parks are open to every one, every day,” said Disney spokeswoman Rena Callahan. “W e want to be hospitable to every one who vis its our parks." In past years, religious right-wing groups have held protests during G av Da vs. N o demon strations were planned for this year’s event, which was held in earlv June. G I n 1997 Julie Jacobv filed for divorce. She A moved, w ith her two children, into the home she shared with her female partner. Her ex-husband sued tor custody, and in 199S the Pinellas C ounty C ircuit C ourt granted him sole custody. T he court agreed with the ex- husband’s argument that granting custody to Jacoby would have made the children vulnera ble to teasing and harassment from classmates at their pnvate parcchial school. In May, the C ourt of .Appeals of Honda tor the 2nd District reversed the earlier trial court ruling bv a 2-1 vote. T he appellate court ruling, w ntten bv Judge Stevan T N orthcutt. stated that the lower court had inappropriately “suc cumbed to the father’s attacks on the mother’s sexual o n en ratio n .“ Aocvxvlmg tc’* Lamhia Legal [Vrense and Education Fuivl. the .ippeals ocxirt said the Jeci- sxxi to grant custixh to the father “peivihred the nxxher Kx hex sexual cxienratxxi wadxxjt evi- dencre that it harm ed the children " The appeals Cvxm .xlnxxuslxxl the trxalcvxit Kx tawxmg the k x tv 'h o ld the rather, who has te n u m e d . over the nxxhix's hvxix' It »xdered the lower a x irt to nvvMV'kkx custixh without reiving »xi anti-gav preiudkvs ’’The Cixirt sent a kxveTul reminder that the Ixvi interests vX the chikken. rxx trr.uxxval tears .uxl preiwlxes, dxxild be paranxxm t m all cus- tixh deosKXVk'* nix !
