And gay people on average have more of it, I think. That being said, a little disappointing, but whatever, its Disney.

Not surprising considering that Disney gave health-care benefits to homosexual couples early on....

Well, it's sort of surprising from the sense that religious extremists will likely boycott, but they've probably already lost a lot of them anyway.

Not to get picky, but I really don't think you have to be a religious extremist to be disgruntled with Disney's relationship w/ the gay community.

Well, maybe, but I don't think the average person would try to organize a boycott.

Disney

Good for them! At least they'll be making money off one of the fastest growing income groups.

On a side note...it always amazes me that ignorant people have this innate desire to stick their noses in anyone elses business.

There are plenty of other things to worry about in this world.

So...why is this disappointing? What's wrong with this exactly?

I'm disappointed that a company with so much influence upon children and families is taking steps to legitimize homosexual marriage. That being said, I'm not surprised.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the issue of gay marriage because I have no issue with it. Civil unions do not provide all of the benefits of a marriage either.

I heard Disney was also promoting circumcision to reduce the risk of AIDS for gays. Is this true?

But they theoretically could, especially if we got rid of state sanctioned marriages totally.
