It's about damn time.

Disney announced today that they would allow gay couples to participate in Fairy Tale Weddings organized at the parks and on the cruise ships.

"Of course," you might say.

But no. Prior to today, gay couples really were banned from the Fairy Tale Weddings packages. Now, common sense seems to demand that "Fairy Tale Weddings" would have been designed with gay couples in mind -- well, maybe not lesbians -- but not at Disney. A few weeks ago, the gay media caught wind that the Fairy Tale ending was not an option for gays to start a life together. But Disney relented.

The Lavish Wedding Option also includes a ride to the ceremony in the Cinderella coach, costumed trumpeters heralding the couple's arrival, and attendance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters dressed in formal attire.

Seriously, what self-respecting gay would do this to his husband?
