ay Days is an event th at used to deepen the
worry lines of officials at Disney World.
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 .“
