And that park was the Magic Kingdom, the first Saturday of June. Since then, it has grown tremendously from just that one day at the Magic Kingdom to- one of the largest [ unk ] has been vacation events in the world. >> Okay. Spice man's there. >> I think it's really important like- for people to see us out here and realize we're normal people. We're just like everybody else, you know. We're no different. They have families. We have children, you know. >> Everybody thinks it's like weird that you- that our parents are gay, but it's not. Like- lots of people- it's the same thing-- like I told one of my friends that she's like, " Really ?" I'm like, " It's the same thing ." And she's like, " No. It's not ." I'm like, " Yeah, it is ." >> I think it's good for them to see so many other families just like them. 'Cause we live in actually a very rural area and there aren't many, you know, other families around. >> Just imagine. >> Gay Days to me is about unity. It's about all of us coming together. It was awesome. >> Stop making a statement. >> We will not go away. We will always be here. >> I love you Tinkerbell! >> Find someone that has been to Gay Days before and let them try to explain what it's about because it's magical and I think if you visit and come to our twenty- first anniversary next year which is themed, Cowboys and Cowgirls, you'll have a gay all time. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Gay Days at Disney's Magic Kingdom","description":"Gay Days began twenty years ago as a way for gay and lesbian people to be more visible at Disney's theme parks.
