Equality, Muppet Style

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.
