Disneyland’s annual unofficial Gay Days celebration is scheduled this year to run Friday, Oct. 5, to Sunday, Oct. 7, in and around the Anaheim resort.
This is the 21st year of the event, during which organizer Eddie Shapiro said people attend the theme parks from around the world, wearing red T-shirts to show their solidarity.
