Cue the "War on Christmas" outrage from the conservative right
March 30, 2017 at 12:39 pm
'Santa's Husband' children's book features a black, gay Santa and his white husband
Forget Starbuck's holiday cups, this is what the conservative religious right will be outraged by this year.

Daniel Kibblesmith, writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and co-author of How to Win at Everything, has officially announced that his children's book, Santa's Husband, will be on shelves starting October 10th.
According to Time, the book is about a gay, black Santa who lives in the North Pole with his white husband. If Santa is busy, his spouse helps out by filling in for him and playing Santa at the mall. Aw!

I've never been able to figure out what Santa has to do with Jesus. And I mean, look at Jesus, he had two dads and he turned out alright.

They're both white men with blue eyes. And if you portray them as anything but, the religious right goes apeshit.

Just wait until they portray God as a hispanic lesbian, with her black transgender wife.

They should have seen it coming. After all, Santa is an anagram of Satan.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
