    Yay! Just goes to show how landing a low-level job can eventually become the highest of the career ladder.

    I may have this wrong, but I thought I heard somewhere that there's speculation that Walt Disney was secretly gay.

    And here I am thinking someone thought Walt Disney was once the president, or that he was just revealed to be gay (as the president of Disney) today.

    This is extremely sweet and awesome, but it is the kind of thing that would set my parents on a rampage about abominations and "wow, can you believe what the world has come to?"

    I wish I could defend gays so much, but last time I even hinted a defense my step-dad was like "you trying to tell me something!?" lol not a good situation.

    How cool! I had always thought that Disney was like super Christian conservative.

    It's great to see people in high positions such as politics, actors, athletes, CEOs, etc live openly. I think it really shows society a good image of the LGBT community, oppose to hiding in the shadows as some would have it.
