A new children’s book will depict Santa Claus as a married gay man.
Daniel Kibblesmith, a staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, is behind Santa’s Husband, to be published by HarperCollins come October. Kibblesmith says he will tell his future children Santa is black. “If they see a white one, we’ll say ‘That’s his husband,'” Kibblesmith said.
The picture book depicts a black Santa Claus and his white husband who both live in the North Pole. Santa’s spouse frequently fills in for his husband at malls, Time reports.
Though HarperCollins says the book is for all ages, many parents are livid at the pushed agenda.
“Does this not seem a tad inappropriate for children? Is it supposed to be funny? Campy? An attempt to lecture the kiddies about homosexuality … at Christmastime? What’s next? Gender-bending Santas?” Debra Heine writes for PJ Media.
Cultural commentator Michael Snyder listed it as his No. 1 sign in his article, “12 Signs That America Is a Politically Correct Madhouse.”
