Description: THIS IS A Modern Copy of a FLYER about the DISNEYLAND GAY DANCE PARTY in 1989 Celebrating the BAN on THE BAN on SAME SEX DANCING ISSUES at VIDEOPOLIS Attendees of Disney parks were banned from dancing with people of the same sex until 1985, when it dropped the policy following a court ruling. Prior to that decision, the company had defended its same-sex dancing ban in court for four years Disney has said that same-sex dancing is permitted at its parks, but has quietly enforced this policy until 1989. For example, queer parkgoers could dance together at Videopolis, Disneyland's teen dance club, during faster songs. However, Videopolis has since closed On September 13th, 1980 — 36 years ago today — Andrew Exler and Shawn Elliot were thrown out of Disneyland after they chose to dance together at Tomorrowland Terrace. Later the two young men (they were 19 and 17 respectively at the time) sued Disney for sexual discrimination and won. Their suit effectively ended Disney’s long-held ban on same-sex dancing that originated in in the 1950s. In fact, the two men went to the park that night with the hopes of challenging that very policy. According to OC Weekly, the pair had heard about it from some of their lesbian friends who had been kicked out of the park previously. Additionally, contrary to popular belief, Exler and Elliot weren’t actually a couple — just good friends.
