Disney Makes Bold Civil Rights Move

In 1996 the Walt Disney company extended domestic partner benefits to its gay and lesbian employees. After fifteen years, the organization has taken another brave step down the path to equality and justice, knocking down yet another barrier to ensuring civil rights for all.

Beginning February 3, workers at Disney parks in both Florida and California will be allowed to grow facial hair. Thank god bearded and mustachioed citizens will now be treated with the respect and dignity they (we) deserve. Well done, Disney. Always ready to lead the revolution, eh?
