Christmas song that says gay
Say you're an elementary educational facility music teacher singing Christmas carols, specifically "Deck the Halls," with your class and every time the lyric "don we now our gay apparel" comes up, the kids watch at each other and giggle hysterically because the word "gay" is super funny to eight year olds. What do you do? Do you hold control of your class like an experienced educator or do you, in an attempt to curb the outbursts, change the lyrics of a 150 year old song and replace the word "gay" with "bright"?
A Traverse City, Michigan elementary educational facility music teacher made the wrong choice by going with the latter. This angered parents took to the school's Facebook page (comments have since been removed and posting disabled) saying "By taking the word 'gay' out of 'Deck the Halls,' you are making it a big deal.

Every part of the campaign is flamboyantly firing on all cylinders already, including all three of the album covers released thus far: from the rhinestoned Gap ad-meets-surrealist Cher-ception ornaments (it’s giving…it’s giving “Chaer”), to the glamorous Amazon Exclusive, reminding us all that the only thing that will endure after global boiling is Cher, to the Official Cher Store version, which sees the superstar playful punting the already-melted ice caps directly into our faces, with a gorgeous view of the burning hellscape just beyond. Sunset vibes!
The 13-track studio album – her first in five years, since the ABBA tribute album, Dancing Queen – was recorded between Los Angeles and London, and includes both holiday classics and originals, and a ton of collaborations. “Put A Little Holiday In Your Heart” with Cyndi Lauper! “Christmas (
Ah, the holidays, what a time! The snow, the tinsel, the gold, the urge to acquire myself a million presents! While I’m famously a Grinch and only truly celebrate Halloween, I have a minute bit of a Christmas spirit this year spurred by my cute niece who I affectionate buying stuff for. As much as I don’t love this season, there are absolute bangers associated with this time of the year. Christmas melody makes me believe of hot chocolate, fuzzy slippers, and begrudgingly putting together the fake plant piece-by-piece. I touch like most gays either are really into Christmas or it is paired with bad memories. But, I myself will take any opportunity to uncover the dyke root in any piece of media, so I thought, why not rank some holiday classics by how much sapphic energy they exude? I haven’t listed every single Christmas song on here, just the ones I’m most familiar with growing up listening to what my parents usually played.
