Hallmark—“when you re enough to send the very bt”—has ed a stir by takg the “gay” out of Christmas. ” The pany dched the tradnal, “Don we now our gay apparel, ” bee many ntexts, gay means ‘homosexual, ’ replacg wh “Don we now our fun apparel, ” which Hallmark felt would be more acceptable to a general dience that clus pdish adults, imprsnable children, and fundamentalists.

Acrdg to the Los Angel Tim, Hallmark ially rpond to crics of this move by argug that the words “gay apparel” were not necsarily thentic to beg wh, but rather translatns om a Gaelic origal, so they uld be replaced by other, synonymo words. The pany sisted that, sce “gay” today means somethg different om what meant the neteenth century, that “uld leave our tent open to misterpretatn. ” In other words, even though the Supreme Court says same-sex marriage is nstutnal, Hallmark didn’t want to be seen by nservative ctomers as endorsg a gay agenda.
