'Girls in Wonderland' Is 'Gay Days' for Lesbians
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Some may forget that "Gay Days" is not just for gay men. The annual gathering at Disney World will be accompanied by a four-day weekend full of lesbian-centered events called "Girls in Wonderland."
The Orlando celebration will include pool parties, live shows with artists including "The Voice" season one finalist Beverly McCLellan, and late-night events such as "Climax," which features DJs and go-go dancers.
Lesbian celebrity guests making appearances this weekend also include actress Jessica Clarke from the show "True Blood," and The L Word rock band Hunter Valentine.
Part of the proceeds will go to the National Center for Lesbian Rights and another portion toward the Zebra Coalition, an Orlando-based organization for LGBT youth.
With over 10 years under its belt, Girls in Wonderland is expected to received around 6,000 attendees.
