Eric W. Dolan ?@EWDolanLesbian couple holds first same sex wedding at Tokyo Disney http://bit.ly/10aewrw
Two lesbians have become the first gay couple to tie the knot at Tokyo Disney Resort, both decked out in fairytale white dresses despite an initial ruling that one had to wear mens clothes.
My love Hiroko and I wore wedding dresses and had a mini-parade in DisneySea, a place I also love, Koyuki Higashi, 28, said on Twitter.
I was really happy! she said.
The event on Friday was the first homosexual wedding in the popular amusement park even though gay marriage has no legal standing in Japan.
We may not have a law that applies to us, but when someone congratulates us for the wedding, I will proudly say thank you! said Higashi. -more

This ain't happening soon anytime in our country. And all they worried about were the clothes. LOL! Good for them.

Like Japan, Florida does not allow gay marriage, but gay wedding ceremonies occur all the time at the Disney Wedding Pavillion and on the grounds. Disney is very progressive in this area. That's why the nuts go crazy when "Gay Days" happen and always threaten to boycott Disney and or the Parks.
