Gayday vs Gaydays

I didn't realize there were 2 different groups of Gaydays out there doing things at Disney World. But in a way I'm sure this all had some drama behind it. This has now passed but I thought it was interesting how the 2 groups schedule seperate activities from each other. So which one is better??? And what a name "Doug Swallow" LOL

Here is a clip from mouseplanet.com

For the 15th consecutive year, Gay Day is being held at Walt Disney World. As has been the case in recent years, two competing groups will be holding events this year. However, this time they will be hosting events in different parks on the same day.

Doug Swallow, who originated the event back in 1991, has listed the following park schedule on his GayDay.com (singular) site:

Thursday, June 2 – Disney–MGM Studios, Cirque du Soleil
Friday, June 3 – Golf at Eagle Pines course, Epcot, late–night Typhoon Lagoon
Saturday, June 4 – Islands of Adventure, late–night Disney–MGM Studios
Sunday, June 5 – Magic Kingdom
Monday, June 6 – Disney's Animal Kingdom
Many other events are listed on that site. The GayDay.com event headquarters is at the Wyndham Palace resort on Hotel Plaza Boulevard.

Chris Alexander–Manley, who arguably turned Gay Day(s) into a major event starting in 1998, lists the following park events on his GayDays.com (plural) site:

Thursday, June 2 – Disney's Animal Kingdom
Friday, June 3 – Disney–MGM Studios, late–night Typhoon Lagoon
Saturday, June 4 – Magic Kingdom, late–night Disney–MGM Studios
Sunday, June 5 – Epcot

I thought this was kinda cute...
