What does make the yuletide gay mean

The holiday season is one of the only times of the year when I’m not particularly interested in talking about faith and sexuality. The repose of the year, it’s kind of my thing—I write a blog about being gay and Christian, I’ve worked the last two summers with The Marin Foundation, and I love getting to participate my story with others and hear theirs. During this time of the year, though, my attention is elsewhere: on the season of Advent, on the gifts I’m knitting for family members, on all the films getting Oscar buzz, and on warm reunions with mature friends.

There was a season when reconciling my faith and my sexuality took over my life. It was the subject of most of my conversations, it was the principal area of focus in my spiritual life, and it was the dilemma that kept me up at night.

Happy Advent everyone. There’s only 4 Sundays left before Christmas and I’m celebrating again. This year instead of concentrating on people I’m getting into the party mood and looking at some of the things that makes Christmas “happy and gay”.

“Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
It may be your last.
Next year we may all be living in the past.”

Beautiful much a gazillion Christmas movies are clogging up the airwaves on so many channels that you literally could watch a formulaic romantic holiday comedy love story at almost any hour of the day or night as we dash our way to the 25th of December. It truly is endless, like the repeating streaming of Mariah Carey’s Christmas spectacular. The list of ridiculously titled holiday movie fare, ranging from “Christmas Carousel” to “Five Star Christmas” on the Hallmark Channel are piling up to the shining stars, one on uppermost of the other, trying most desperately to garner our festive attention. They promise mainstream romantic devote, monogamy-centrist cultural norms, PG sexual tension, minor complications, and plenty of sparkling Christmas lights. Most, I truly believe, won’t entice me, or convince me
