Some folks just can’t accept that Santa Claus is a total (polar) bear. Remember the backlash toward that Norwegian advertisement with a gay Santa last year? Or the outrage over the 2017 children’s book Santa’s Husband?
In fact, in a YouGov poll of Brits last year, 41 percent of respondents found the idea of a gay Santa unacceptable — with men and the 50-plus set expressing that homophobia in higher proportions — while only 39 percent found it acceptable for Father Christmas to be a daddy.
But the Twitter users behind the “gay Santa” tweets below know what’s up: Santa’s actual beard is Mrs. Claus!
? I saw daddy breeding Santa Claus ?

My beard is completely out of control and I definitely should get it trimmed, but I kinda want to see how "gay Santa" I can get before the 25th.

This is straight up communism, Ellen. Good on you for taking a stand against the Marxist Gay Santa Agenda. And that's not even his real name! He was originally known as Kris Kringle before the CIA radicalized him against capitalism. Now, he's just gay + giving away toys. Ugh.

No straight, elderly man is that efficient and thoughtful to listen to all of the children on the Earth and get them what they want. Let’s keep it 100.
Santa is either an efficient homosexual or taking credit for Mrs Claus’s work, pick one https://t.co/dDtiSgTOqK

People are mad at a Gay Santa advert? That's claustrophobic.

Saw a Facebook post objecting to that Santa advert, insisting that "Santa was never gay!!"
This amused me, because
– It implies that Santa was actually real at some point
– It suggests that, among all his other established features, him being homosexual is the most unbelievable— Dean Burnett (@garwboy) November 25, 2021

These gay Santa memes are cute, I guess? But I’m not so ghettoized that I need to queerify every cultural tradition I participate in. I like to think of the queer community as part of the human community – not a separate country unto itself.
No need to keep reinventing the wheel out of rainbow colors when the old wheel works just fine.

How unbearable of you.
