Families warned, Disney to allow homosexual 'weddings'

Christian families could be exposed to more than they bargained for if they take a vacation to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, according to the president of the American Family Association.

The Walt Disney Company recently announced it was making wedding ceremonies at its parks and on its cruise lines available to homosexual couples. For years, The Walt Disney Company had limited its "Fairy Tale Wedding" program to couples with valid marriage licenses. But a Disney spokesman says that policy was changed after a homosexual couple contacted the company, wanting to use its wedding service.

One pro-homosexual website quotes a Disney representative as saying the company's decision to update its program guidelines to include "commitment ceremonies" is consistent with Disney's overall policy of "creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment" for its guests. "We are not in the business of making judgments about the lifestyles of our guests," said the Disney spokesman. "We are in the hospitality business and our parks and resorts are open to everyone."

Such inclusiveness, says AFA president Tim Wildmon, is why families must be warned. "You could be innocently taking your family to Disney World or Disneyland, and you're walking down the middle of the park and here's comes this parade of wedding attendees [that includes] two men who've just gotten 'married' at Disney World," he says. "That's something to take into consideration before you go and patronize the Walt Disney Company this summer."

Wildmon believes a ten-year boycott of The Walt Disney Company by pro-family organizations made a lasting impact and impression. But the family advocate contends Disney's recent move is another example of the influence homosexual activists have with secular businesses.

"Secular corporations continue to have pressure applied to them by secular forces. The homosexual agenda -- those who promote that movement -- want to use Disney as much as they possibly can to legitimize their particular lifestyle, and the Disney Corporation in this case has gone along with them."

The wedding service offers ceremonies at Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California (homosexual "marriage" is legal in neither state) and on Disney's cruise ships. According to Reuters, the packages can cost upwards of $8,000.

Let the homosexuals have Disney theme parks and cruises. Disney has proven time and time again that families are not in their corporate interest.

Homosexuals and their sycophants want to be inclusive and permit prancing about in front of a phony 'minister' all the while ogling our children.

"Humans' who put their pee-pees and faces into another's poo-poo are just plain sick and unworthy of mingling with normal families.

Let’s hope that college frat boys take full advantage of Disney’s new “service” and upload the festivities to Youtube.

Whole new meaning to the ‘magic kingdom’. Why do they pander? Maybe they’ll change course when the profits start to drop.

Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave so fast he’s generating electricity.

Disney ownership appears to have rubbed off on The Muppets.

Translation: Perverts welcome at kiddie park.

Universal in Orlando is a lot more fun and the on site food and hotels are great. The whole thing costs less and if you stay on site you get a pass to go to the front of the lines. Also they have a Christian weekend every year!

Just what every child who visits disneyland needs to see. A couple of pervert homo’s being wed.

Close the place up for the public’s own good.

Well, yeah, since that whole Southern Baptist boycott thing worked so well.

There is also the Holy Land exhibit in Orlando, which I hear is fantastic. A recreation of Jerusalem at the time of Christ.

Yes. Even in the off season. Never do that again.

Overall though, the park was great for little kids. I liked everything, except for the Dumbo Ride line and "It's a Small World." It was like the ride that time forgot.

Epcot was a different story. Never, ever go to Epcot, unlike you like the idea of genuine simulated countries, complete with their own gift shops, spaced 100 yards apart around an artificial lake. If it wasn't for the giant Mexican adult beverages, I wouldn't have survived.

(SeaWorld is fabulous. Universal was very entertaining.)
