Now, I knew the Muppets were diversity-friendly, but this is a really fantastic turn-up for the books. The company are opposing Chick-Fil-A, who are anti same-sex marriage, with strength and pride:
"The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and
inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that
we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa
Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has
directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to
GLAAD. (http://www.glaad.org/)" from Political Groove.
In the words of Miss Piggy, "There is the satisfaction of providing your public with a vision of true
beautology, true sytlisity, - how can I put it? – true glamorositude." (From MissPiggyFans.com).
And that captures the Muppets' support of marriage equality in a nutshell, wouldn't you say?
Thanks to my beautiful Angela for the link. Via Political Groove with thanks.
