Well, it looks like the "happiest place on earth" just became a little more welcoming for members of the LGBTIQ+ community.

In what is surely another leap forward in the ongoing pursuit of equality, rainbow-coloured pride ears are now available to purchase at Walt Disney World in Florida - with LGBTIQ+ fans of Disney celebrating the move as an inclusive gesture.

With openly gay YouTube personality Joey Graceffa enjoying "a day full of magic" to help launch the rainbow ears, others were clambering to get their hands on a pair.

While currently only available on location at Disney World and Disneyland, a spokesperson for Disney reportedly said the collectors item would soon be for sale through Disney’s official site and app.

We're glad to see Mickey has come so far in his views since being created in 1928.
