Red is Not Just for Commies Any More

Be mindful if you're wearing a red t-shirt in Orlando in late May. From Travel Escapes in the NY Times, Journeys: Gay Orlando Steps Out (you have to go to the article to see the picture, which I wouldn't post in this family-oriented blog).

Gay Days, a series of parties, performances and gatherings throughout the city around the first week of June, highlighted by trips en masse to the local theme parks - the Magic Kingdom included - where participants typically sport red T-shirts to stand out from other visitors. In spite of protests from groups, particularly Christian activists, Gay Days has soared in popularity. This year's events, which begin on May 31, are expected to draw more than 125,000 people.

Of course, a pride parade in San Francisco typically draws half a million people, so it appears there is room to grow.
