Here's today's Washington Watch Daily commentary from FRC Radio:
It looks like Disney had another “goofy” idea. Last Friday, the company announced that same-sex couples can now participate in its Fairy Tale Wedding program. Until this month, Disney’s policy banned homosexuals because the packages required a valid marriage license from California or Florida. But Disney now says that to create an “inclusive environment,” the Fairy Tale Wedding guidelines will include commitment ceremonies. But as far as American families are concerned, this is no magic kingdom. For decades, Disney has been the ultimate kids’ vacation. Now the innocent fun will be “dwarfed” by a politically correct celebration of homosexuality. Since Disney hosted its first “Gay Day,” it was obvious that Disney stopped reflecting the values of America and began trying to shape them. “We aren’t in the business of making judgments… about our guests,” said one spokesman. But for these couples, the same-sex lifestyle leads to anything but a storybook ending. This latest move by Disney shows that instead of creating wholesome entertainment for children, as Mr. Disney did, the Disney enterprise is now seeking to create fantasies for homosexuals.

John I salute Disney's decision
If Disney allowed polygamists to hold wedding ceremonies there too, would you "salute" that as well?

Yes, I would. I am opposed to polygamy on legal grounds. But if people want to choose that arrangement and all parties agree, I see no reason why a private company should not accomodate them.

John... why, if you think it is ok for them to do so morally would you restrict them legally?

Actually, I have no real "problem" with legal polygamy, but think that if a court were to rule that polygamist marriages had to be allowed, the law would be an utter mess.
I'll back legal polygamy when the legislature writes the law necessary to deal with the special problems it would bring.

Yes, the whole legal framework is set up for two-person marriages.
If people want to set up a civil contract for polygamy, I have no objection, but I dont see how it can be made a legal marriage. And I dont think its very good public policy to encourage it anyway - economic mess.
