“Micky Mouse Rainbow Love” is not the street name of a club drug. It is the name the Walt Disney Company has assigned the rainbow mouse ears they are now selling in Disney parks.

On the eve of gay pride month, the celebration of LGBT love and relationships that happens every June, the Disney company has released these hats as a product exclusive to the company’s amusement parks. YouTube personality Joey Graceffa released a popular video showcasing the hats, and the Internet has been aglow with the rainbow light of commercialized equality.

The ears, which are honestly pretty cute, sell for $17.99 in Disney parks only.
