GayDays says it has had to pause events surrounding an annual Disney meetup in June due to the loss of key sponsorship and other factors including changes to its host hotel agreement and “broader challenges impacting the LGBTQIA+ events nationwide.”

Gay Days Inc. said this is “a pause, not an ending.”

Josh Duke, co-owner of GayDays, says he plans to have more of an update later this week.

Duke and the organization are encouraging people to continue showing their pride by wearing red shirts to the Disney Theme Parks on June 6 for Red Shirt Day. The event is community organized and not affiliated with GayDays.
