Thank you for your support of inclusiveness in the Disney world of employees, patrons, and entertainment. Our Baptist agitators lapse in forgetting that all gay and lesbian persons, indeed all minority persons and holders of minority opinion, are all part of nuclear and extended "families" also. We all grew up with Disney, and cherish the nonpoliticized messages of fun, harmony and values which the corporate Disney projects. It would be a shame to see the Disney for "all America" erode into an ethnically cleansed vehicle for fundamentalist propaganda.

Again, thank you and the Disney enterprises for maintaining the integrity of the Disney world, and for doing the right thing for all of your public and employees. I am sure a vast majority of Americans join me in supporting the Disney policy of openness and inclusiveness. If Mickey and the Disney cast of characters could not speak for all Americans, to which of us could they speak at all?
