Michael W. Chapman, the rabidly anti-gay managing editor of CNSNews.com, has struck again. He devotes a Dec. 20 blog post to whining about a new book that “tells the story of a black Santa, his white husband, and their life in the North Pole,” complaining that it arrives “just in time to further sexualize (and homosexualize) children.”
After quoting the book’s author stating how its aim is to mock the “war on Christmas” meme promoted every year by conservatives, Chapman huffs: “Apparently, depicting two ‘married’ male Santas who presumably anally sodomize each other as pretend-love — and deliver gifts to children! — is in no way an attack on Christmas.” Looks like someone isn’t getting the joke. (And how does Chapman know that gay relationships are “pretend-love”? Has he ever talked to a gay person in his life?)
Chapman concludes his tirade by huffing, “Maybe next Christmas the publisher Harper Collins can gift the world with a transgender Santa.” Given that such a book will most certainly set off humorless homophobes like Chapman into paroxysms of rage — a perverse entertainment unto itself — we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s in the works.
