Now over 150,000 people attend every year and it’s become a massive, weekend-long event. On that first weekend, there were 3000 people it was almost a flash mob, before flash mobs were a thing. They chose to all wear red – not the rainbow colors usually associated with Pride and other LGBT events – in order to ‘blend in’ rather than stand out.
It all started in 1991 when a group of friends organized an unofficial event in Disney World on a June weekend.
