Tokyo Disneyland is an odd place to make a political statement, but the theme park now hosts same-sex wedding ceremonies.

When a lesbian couple tied the knot there at a commitment ceremony in its Cinderella Castle in 2012, what was dubbed Japan¡¯s first gay wedding had Mickey and Minnie in attendance as celebrants, all decked out in wedding finery.

At first Disneyworld had balked over what is always a critical issue: What to wear? The couple was asked if one of them could wear a dress and the other a tuxedo ¡ª but in the end they both got to wear dresses.
