"Gay Days" Weekend Draws LGBTQ Community To Orlando, Florida

ORLANDO, FLORIDA - JUNE 03: Bottles of Smirnoff Vodka are on display at the Gay Days festivities at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld on June 03, 2023 in Orlando, Florida. As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers passed anti-LGBTQ laws, Gay Days organizers encouraged visitors to continue to attend one of Florida’s largest gay and lesbian celebrations. One part of the festivities for the weekend will be a Saturday meetup of LGBTQ visitors at Magic Kingdom in the Walt Disney World theme park, even as Disney is in a legal fight with DeSantis over the governor and Florida Republican lawmakers taking over Disney World’s governing district after Disney officials publicly opposed legislation that critics have dubbed “Don’t Say, Gay.” (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
