CNN Pushes Children's Book With A Black Homosexual Santa

[Coyote]

I have no problem with a black santa or an asian santa and I absolutely have no problem with gay rights. But this might be a bit too much...do our popular children's fantasies need to be sexualized?

I don't think there's anything "sexual" about the book.

ohhh....maybe I should read it then

I know that I don't have to tell you this, but "gay" doesn't equal "sexual".

As far as I know (I haven't read the book, children's books aren't really my thing), it's just about a gay Santa, not about what that gay Santa does in his bedroom.

I know that I don't have to tell you this, but "gay" doesn't equal "sexual".

So, it can be A-Sexual?

All black people are gay, not just Santa.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This is getting ridiculous. I guess what Santa means has got to diversify.......

CNN Pushes a Gay Santa Storybook for Kids Featuring “Santa’s Husband”
CNN Pushes a Gay Santa Storybook for Kids Featuring "Santa's Husband," and I Have Some Questions
CNN, the same network that won an award for stellar reporting after suggesting a missing airplane fell into a black hole, helped promote a Christmas book for kids that tells the “fresh, new” story of Santa Claus and his gay husband.

During a segment on CNN’s “New Day,” Co-anchor Christi Paul and co-host Victor Blackwell dedicated four minutes to the book, “Santa’s Husband,” and even had author Daniel Kibblesmith, and illustrator Ashley Quach on the show to discuss the book.

According to Kibblesmith, the idea was inspired by “the annual tradition we have in this country of pretending that there’s a giant war on Christmas, and that traditional Christmas is under attack.” Kibblesmith added that after seeing the controversy of a black Santa from last year, he would only promote a black Santa to his kids, and if they see a white Santa, he would inform his children that that’s just Santa’s husband.

After a social media conversation with the illustrator, the book was put together.

The book features a look into the life of black Santa and his gay white husband — who looks like the traditional Santa — and even goes into their solving marital problems by kissing over a plate of milk and cookies.


According to the Daily Wire, when asked to respond to the criticism brought up from people, including those within the gay community, and whether or not this was made to promote a political agenda, Kibblesmith responded:

Well, I think that’s a legitimate criticism. I mean, I’m literally on the news anchor scene now, but, you know, that’s just the world that we come from. I’m a political satire writer. So when, you know, I have the opportunity to write a book, these are the things that I care about and that I’m interested in. My only real response to that, I think, is that we’re trying to put a net positive into the world and contribute to a vacuum of representation. But these are obviously our views — they’re not everybody’s views, and we’re just flattered that the response has been so overwhelmingly positive so far.

Some questions…



For one, who is being underrepresented here? The gay community. Do young children have a concern about the underrepresentation of gays in Santa’s story? I was under the impression that kids didn’t give half a rotted rat’s rear about people’s sexual orientations and the demographics popping up in stories about a man in a red suit who gives them presents. They care about the fact that a man in a red suit is delivering presents.

Secondly, the author plays it off like he’s just doing the world a solid by introducing this book into the market. A good guy doing a good deed. Of course, he does this after mocking the idea that there’s a war on Christmas, saying the war on Christmas inspired the idea, and is pushing a message of homosexuality into a children’s character used to celebrate a Christian holiday.

So how is this guy going to try to get us to believe that this isn’t his little contribution to the clearly ongoing war on Christmas? This book was clearly made as a way to get those racist, homophobic Christians to freak out. It surely wasn’t made for the kids. By the author’s own confession, the book was made out of spite. He wasn’t doing it to be a good guy, he was doing it to be an ass.

Finally, can we all agree that CNN is clearly only promoting the book in order to garner the reaction from people? Okay, cool.

Look, I couldn’t care less that they portrayed Santa as black. If that helps a kid relate better to Jolly Ol’ St. Nick then go for it. But let’s not pretend the this black Santa married to a white Santa that he kisses is a virtue move. This book is a blatant attempt at generating outrage, and they’re using children to do it.​

So what? I the right wing bigots can promote the idea that Barack Obama was gay married on the moon and Michele is a man, we can promote our fantasies too.

Your fantasy is that Santa is black and gay?

Do you want to sit on his lap and tell him what you want for Christmas?

I know that I don't have to tell you this, but "gay" doesn't equal "sexual".

So, it can be A-Sexual?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

Asexuality - Wikipedia

I am aware of what "asexual" means. That does not help me understand what your point was.

Wouldn't a non-Sexual orientation be Asexual, rather than Homosexual?

Just sayin'

 

[mudwhistle]

I wonder which attribute bothers our far right members more, the fact Santa is black or gay.

I am going with the gay part, I think a lot more of them are homophobic than are racist...at least openly.

I think the whole thing is sick.
Why don't you folks make up your own stuff rather than trashing ours?
First they talked about Jesus being black, then James Bond was black...and gay, now Santa's a pervert who likes giving little boys the High Hard One.

What color do you think Jesus was?

Tan

I think you're missing the point. I will try another tack.

Look at this picture:

Is that picture "sexual" to you?

Why don't they let children be children?

Why do they have to push their agendas down their throats

The criminals who are doing this will have to answer to their conscience ....they will pay.

GOD knows they will.

 

[LoneLaugher]

If the teacher presents it as fiction, I'm cool with the Bible being read in school.

Why not teach the truth. Is that unimaginable to you?

Teach that there are as many different opinions as to whether the Holy Bible is totally fact, totally fiction and everything in between. Despite what you or your family believe, it does contain countless lessons on life.

It is a work of fiction. That is the truth.

 

[LoneLaugher]

I have no problem with a black santa or an asian santa and I absolutely have no problem with gay rights. But this might be a bit too much...do our popular children's fantasies need to be sexualized?

It has not been sexualized.

Leftist men bend over backwards for those people and all it does is leave a bad taste in their mouths.
