NEWS: Disneyland Actually Gets Gayer

POLITICS: Disneyland Actually Gets Gayer

First came Mickey Mouse, then Peter Pan and now Disney is really upping the gay by allowing same-sex couples to exchange vows in front of Cinderella's Castle. Up until now, Disney had only allowed couples with valid marriage licenses to get hitched in its Fairy Tale Wedding program. That all changed today, not surprisingly, on news dump Friday.

Not allowing gay people to get married at Disneyland is like not letting hippies roll around in the dirt. Disney decided to change their policy after being contacted by a gay couple who wanted to use their wedding service. The service includes Mickey and Minnie Mouse in formal wear, which means pants. The retarded couple can also get a ride to the ceremony in the Cinderella coach and have costumed trumpeters heralding their arrival. Packages start at $8,000 and can go up to $45,000.

From 1997 to 2005, Southern Baptists boycotted Disney for violating "moral righteousness and traditional family values." Today's gay marriage announcement will seem to them like the baby Jesus is being raped by Goofy.

good for them. kudos to disney.

I need a girl so I can get married at Dland!

And $45k.

And a pony.

this makes me happy

Great, but who the fuck would want to get married at Disneyland??
Anyone been there lately? It's like being trapped in the DMV.

It's one big line

that sounds good, i mean marriage is to celebrate love, and nobody should be discriminated in that matter in any country...or themed park

The Disney corporation just got cooler.

I'm impressed that they aren't caving in to the fanatics/lunatics who are ruining this country.

dont forget, thier biggest earner in short programs in the thirties and forties was a sailor who refused to wear pants.

so gay.

shhh... listen!

does anyone else hear that? that's the sound of all the power required to run Disney World being generated by the spinning going on in Walt Disney's cryogenic chamber/grave.

but that's ok.

IN YOUR FACE, YOU JEW-HATING NAZI BASTARD!

go Disney Corporation!

Hurrah for disney!
It sounds awesomely camp. I would like to see such an event.

yay! a bunch of my gay(and bi and straight) friends work there. why shouldn't they be able to get married there!?

This is pretty cool, nice article FTR.

This is an awesome atricle

I am picturing two gay folks getting married by The Mouse in front of Cinderella's Castle.

It is not a pretty picture.

Actually, it is not a pretty picture regardless of the gender of the partners.

Disneyworld really should be the site of the nation's next nuclear accident.

Strike that, Orlando should be the site of the nation's next nuclear accident. That would take care of a whole mess of evil.

for that much money I'm not surprised they're doing it - that's gotta be a big chunk of pure profit for them.

OTOH they are letting them do it which is good

congrats to disney for stepping up and showing the world that its okie for gays to marry. now if the rest of the world would just follow

I'm surprised the Westboro Baptists Church hasn't paid them a visit.

It's good that Disneyland is concerned about making sure that everyone has equal access to the right to a stupid wedding.




Seriously, though, go Disney. That's awesome.


But also seriously, that does sound like the dumbest wedding ever.

I have a feeling this in more of a move to increase the bottom line. Nothing but the o' mighty dollar.

I thought the same thing...

If this isn't a sign of a general societal shift, I don't know what is.

i usually hate this disney corp with a passion, but good for them on this one, although i'm sure the primary motivation is money.

Well, up to now they've (WBC) only gone up against veterans, police, abortion clinics, etc. I'm not sure even they are dumb enough to go up against DisneyCo.

You know they've got a couple of miles of "utility tunnels " under the park, right?

"Can you say 'disappear,' Mr. Phelps?"

I agree.
Just let me get my parents out first, 'kay?
