Disney to allow gay couples to marry in parks

This is soooo my favorite news story of the week:

Disney is now allowing gay couples to hold commitment ceremonies in the magic kingdom. In this article, a reverand attributes the decision to financial reasons, given that Disney can make an additional $1.5 million per year with a mere 1 commitment ceremony per week. (The average package goes for $28,000.) I don’t really buy that argument, because it would save Disney a lot of problems if it just left the issue alone. What do you think?

My favorite part of the second article: “In case you were wondering, no, you still can’t have two Mickeys or two Minnies greeting the guests. “This never happens in any circumstance at any of our parks,” Walker said. “Because, you see, there’s only one Mickey.”"

I know that I’m being light about this subject, but I kinda think it’s a big step towards a broader social acceptance for gay marriage. Again, what do you think?
