Gay Days at Disneyland is coming up soon, the annual weekend when the happiest place on earth becomes the gayest place on earth.
So it’s the perfect time to revisit this absolute gem of a prank phone call.
Brother Russell — aka “Melba” — calls into a local Christian radio show to describe her experience taking her son to Disney World. As luck would have it, it turned out to be gay day.
“Can you tell me what you saw?” the host sincerely asks, adding “some of this you probably can’t describe on a family show!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Russell’s delivery is pitch perfect as he, as Melba, explains that her son was recruited by the eighteen-year-old gay son of a Disney employee.
The whole thing ends with a creepy prayer and Melba speaking in tongues.
Well played, Melba. Well played.
Listen below:

If she were truly speaking in tongues, everyone would understand her, no matter the native language. Anything else is merely a spectacle.

Hey – I’ve ridden that ride too.

Very funny but the prank call album that comes from was released in 1998!

This is what the extreme Republican party thinks of us. Gay people should never support the right wing. It is contrary to your existence.

He’s probably experimenting but his mother, being a woman, perceives it as “turning gay”. A lot of women can’t cope with male homosexuality in fractions, and thus seek the scientific explanation of “turning gay” to explain male experimentation.
This all-or-none attitude to male homosexuality by women is based on their fear of male power.

I remember as a boy hearing Judy Garland playing on Grandma’s radio. I swear that’s what turned me. It was too late. No amount of speaking in tongues could bring me back.

People have a choice. There is nothing on earth that will make one gay. It has and to the best of knowledge it is a lifestyle one has chosen by free will. The consequence of it will bear down on the family. There are many who only think of themselves.

I can’t do anything but laugh when I listen to this. Where I’m from this program would be forbidden. So funny that orthodox christians always believe that homosexuality rubs off. I so, it’s superior to heterosexuality otherwise they would only have to place gays between straight people for a day and voila!

I was having a great time listening to this until I read the comments. As I READ and UNDERSTOOD the article, I knew that it was a prank. But I guess we see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear. “So it’s the perfect time to revisit this absolute gem of a prank phone call.” It was a setup, folks, and there are several places in the article that indicate that. Yet once again feathers are being ruffled over what was obviously a prank. Even listening to the video on the YouTube site it is clearly listed as “Comedy”. Queerty even said “Well played, Melba…” and “Russell’s delivery is pitch perfect as he, as Melba” What more do you need, other than to READ, for crying out loud to know that this is a joke?!?

@amanofcolours: You must be new here. Sadly, some of our unintelligent posters jump immediately to comments to post the exact same “thoughts” they’ve posted many, many times before. They hardly ever bother with actually reading the articles (and “god” knows they never click on any links within articles). They also have no sense of humor, so something like this is incomprehensible to them.
I agree with you, this is pretty clever!

Bitch doesn’t have a gay son. That whole “recruitment” B.S. is right out of the right-wing hate manual on Gays. You can tell she has no idea about gay people or how sexuality works. Amazing to me what gigantic liars these people are.
Ridpathos
It started off as her ‘nephew’ and the radio personality changed it to ‘son’. Melba just played along.

What’s the point of this “hoax”? It didn’t ridicule or expose hypocrisy or enlighten in any way. It just fuels the flames of homophobia. It’s almost as stupid as all the commenters who thought it was real.

@jwtraveler: How does it “fuel the flames of homophobia”? It may be a bit dated. But when Gay Days at Disneyland started several years ago, there was a lot of Christian hysteria about it, calls for boycotts and the like. In this form it’s making fun of their perennial fear of “recruitment” which is always good for a laugh. (Even if the joke has gone over the heads of several readers here.)

@amanofcolours: The comments are blowing my mind. How unobservant do you have to be?
Or maybe they’re all trolling. Queerty is, no offense, a very easy place to do that.
