Disney opens Fairy Tale Weddings to gay couples
Thu Apr 5, 2007 7:11pm ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Walt Disney Co. has changed its policy to allow same-sex couples to participate in a popular Fairy Tale Wedding program it runs mainly at its two U.S. resorts and cruise line, a Disney spokesman said on Thursday.

Disney previously had allowed gay couples to organize their own weddings or commitment ceremonies at rented meeting rooms at the resorts, but had barred them from purchasing its Fairy Tale Wedding package and holding the event at locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World that are set aside specifically for weddings.

"We are updating our Fairy Tale Wedding guidelines to include commitment ceremonies," Disney Parks and Resorts spokesman Donn Walker said. "This is consistent with our policy of creating a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment for all of our guests."

8. Why does that surprise you?

Disney stood up to the Southern Baptists over rights for their gay employees, bringing on a boycott. They have a Gay Pride week every year at Disney World (not sponsored by Disney, but encouraged by them). As far as corporations go, Disney's fairly liberal-friendly, even liberal at times. The only part that surprised me was that Disney has not allowed this until now.

When Disney expanded and its subsidiary film companies started producing other than G-rated movies, he had a cow and was threatening to dump his Disney stock. If he didn't then, he will now for sure!
