Disney unveils rainbow Mickey Mouse ears to celebrate homosexuality
by
In time for the official gay “Pride” month of June, all Disney parks will begin selling specially designed rainbow Mickey Mouse ears. The child’s hat features the iconic ears in rainbow strips, and the front is embroidered with Mickey’s gloves forming the shape of a rainbow heart.
Disney stores have long carried various “Pride” products, including collectible rainbow pins. Disney also has a history of accommodating the sometimes raucous unofficial annual “Gay Days” at Disneyland and Disneyworld. The behavior displayed has caused some in the LGBT community to openly criticize the event. A number of “Gay Days” venues offer a “Mr. Leather” contest, fetish workshops, and “XXX Porn Bingo.” At Disneyworld, the Orlando theme park provides staging areas (including Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Typhoon Lagoon) for “Gay Days” events that regularly include at least partial nudity.
Primarily through children’s television programming, Disney has engaged in a concerted effort to normalize homosexuality.
