TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A Christian group said Thursday that police must do a
better job of enforcing Florida's public indecency laws during the
upcoming Gay Days at Walt Disney World. 
The Christian Action Network set up an exhibit of explicit photos
outside the state Capitol saying that they were taken during previous Gay Day events at Disney World. Martin Mawyer, a spokesman for the Christian Action Network, said many of the photos captured gay men committing sexual
acts in public.
The group displayed about a half-dozen poster-size photographs
of men exposing their groins and buttocks that, Mawyer says, were
taken inside theme parks and around the Orlando area during Gay
Days.
Mawyer wants state lawmakers to put pressure on the Florida
Attorney General and Orlando police to enforce public indecency
laws during the Gay Day celebration at Disney World in June.
