Gay Day
Do not use shorthand punctuation to substitute for any wording. These examples should NOT be used:

Special Circumstances:
Gay Day's

sentence as in referring to multiple year's of Gay Day events)
Gay Day at Disney (while this
shorthand is rather popular, it can be confusing to many people as there are Gay
Day events at several Walt Disney theme parks and attractions; its use should be
limited to after the event is appropriately referenced as "at Walt Disney World"
at least once.)
