Those of you who enjoy a good Disney Gay Day may want to take a second to remember retired California Judge James Randal Ross.

The great grandson of outlaw Jesse James, Ross served on the Orange County Superior Court, from which he banished discrimination from the Magical Kingdom.

Of all the cases he handled, Ross was most proud of one involving Disneyland banning gays from dancing at the Anaheim amusement park, Eric James said.

Disneyland had imposed the ban in 1957, when dancing was first allowed. In 1980, a homosexual couple was kicked out of the park for dancing together. When the case made it to Ross' court, he ruled in favor of the gay couple.

In July 1985, Disneyland lifted the 28-year-old ban.

Unfortunately Ross' career ended in censure after he refused to apologize for, among other things, sleeping on the job and telling a dirty joke in court. Sounds like our kind of man...

Last month played host to Disney's annual Gay Days, where hundreds of thousands of gay men took to the park to enjoy the rides. And each other. But as any regular attendee knows, it's not Space Mountain where the real action is — it's at the pool parties, where there's a good chance a porn star or two might happen by.

While some of us argue over the sexuality of superheroes, at least one group of illustrated creations is embracing their homo side. Down in Orlando, the 16th annual Gay Days is in full stride at Disney World, with Mickey and Donald playing host to thousands – excuse us: 140,000! – gays looking to get their summer sun on with constumed characters. Whether it's bingo and the Expo or dancing and drinking at the Bud Light BBQ Pool Bash, there's plenty more to do than just sit in the queue for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Just don't cut in line. It's one thing to piss off a family of four waiting in line at Space Mountain. It's another to cross a gaggle of gays waiting for the tea cup ride.

(And we'd certainly be remiss if we didn't mention the violence already plaguing this year's celebrations.)

*"Skreeve" is gay slang for "writing." If Madonna can become British overnight, than so can we.
