Something good came to my attention via Reason magazine. I saw the headline:
"Disney Legalizes Same-Sex Unions".At first it may appear too "kitsch" or "campy", but the truth is, when Disney accepts something like this, certainly it's a message that either Americans are finally getting it, or they will soon follow. What is more "American" than Apple Pie, The Flag, and Walt Disney, eh? Way to be Mickey & Mickey, Minnie and Minnie and Goofy and...?, well, methinks no one is ready for that one...! 
Disney Legalizes Same-Sex Unions
Real social change doesn't come from Washington.
Jesse Walker | April 9, 2007Gay couples are now free to buy a Fairy Tale Wedding package at Disneyland, Disney World, or Disney's cruise ships, with "a ceremony setting befitting the dreams of a princess." The Disney properties have long allowed same-sex couples to tie the knot on the premises, but this is the first time those unions are being given official sanction. The Magic Kingdom has thus proved itself more progressive than the motherland, or as progressive as you can be while throwing around the word "fairy."

Meanwhile, the world we live in now is increasingly willing to embrace homosexual unions, even if many Americans—and most states—haven't gotten there yet. For an extra fee, couples buying the Fairy Tale Wedding can hire Mickey and Minnie Mouse to attend as guests, sitting in the audience in formal wear. If Mickey is cool with gay marriage, the rest of the country can't be that far behind.
