IS RUDOLPH GAY?
Is Rudolph gay? * gay rudolph *
Seeg aga recently, though, I noticed somethg I hadn’t before: The whole special is kd of like a gay g-out story. It’s super duper gay. ” And on The Sewers of Paris (a podst about gay men and the entertament that’s changed their liv) this week’s gut Jonathan Renteria-Elyea reflects on how meangful the songs about “misfs” were to him as a kid.
Eventually, Rudolph fds a gay ghetto on the Island of Misf Toys, then returns to civilizatn when he learns to make himself eful — and as is noted on The Sewers of Paris, that’s precisely what out gay men had to do the 60s to survive. ‘Tis the season to bate whether Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reer, y, the inic 1964 stop-motn film, teach a lson of homophobia or not. You see, the film is super gay.
REVEALED: THE OBV GAY SUBTEXT OF ‘RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REER’
I mean, he’s always seemed kda gay to . * gay rudolph *
We’re talkg Matt-Bomer-enchg-Neil-Patrick-Harris-unr-the-mistletoe-gra gay.
The kd of gay that if Hollywood was to remake the fay-iendly film today, would probably st Jam Corn to play the role, fearg ’s flamgly homosexual subtext would be too, well, gay for Karen and the kids to handle. When Hermey tells him, tentatively, that he don’t want to make toys, Foreman Elf repeats the phrase the ‘sissy’ voice that has hnted gay boys down through the ag.

But packg kids’ stockgs wh homophobia isn’t que the msage of the movie, rpond another cric, Jeet Heer, The Natn. On The Sewers of Paris podst, gut Jonathan Renteria-Elyea reflected on how Rudolph fleeg home and endg up at the Island of Misf Toys mirrored many gay men’s journeys the 1960s, even if such an analogy is a ltle on the nose.
HOMOPHOBE HAS PLETE MELTDOWN OVER SUGGTN THAT RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REER IS POSSIBLY GAY
Gay.
WHEN HOLLYWOOD STUDS MARRIED OFF GAY STARS TO KEEP THEIR SEXUALY A SECRET
But not whout battlg the embodiment of homophobia self – the Abomable Snow Monster. Now, I know what you're thkg: Tony Bravo, you thk everythg is a gay allegory. In the past, I've poted to the X-Men (mutant powers maniftg at puberty that require a g out procs and rults discrimatn), Twilight's gym queen werewolf, Morrissey-lookg vampire and sulky girl flannel (technilly, the books are a Mormon allegory for wag until marriage, but the movi are totally a gay allegory), Maria von Trapp (the mil versn, not the historil one), and even the Ltle Mermaid.
Not only is our red-nosed iend a seasonal gay allegory, but he's one that generatns of children have grown up wh, through the song (gay) and the stop-motn Rank and Bass special that plays every year on an ABC Fay loop (extremely gay).
GROWG UP RUDOLPH, OM CHILDHOOD TO GAY MAN
The fact that I n immediately tie this special to a Tennsee Williams masterwork already lets you know jt how gay this is gog to get. " That's sort of like when fathers of gay sons sist on givg them a football for Christmas stead of the One Directn lendar they asked for so they "will have somethg mon wh the boys on the playground.
- Wele to Rudolph's (and almost every ltle gay boy's) worst nightmare: gym class. Self-hatg Fireball tells him to get away, as if he might ntract the gay gene through nasal ntact.
- While Rudolph is stgglg not to get gay bashed, a blond sprig of an elf (who looks and sounds like Carson Krsley) named Hermey is gettg a verbal beat down om the head of the toy partment bee he wants to be a ntist.
LEGENDARY STAR'S GAY LIFE
Basilly, the Island of Misf Toys is a gay bar where slightly "off" but totally ol-lookg toys (stuffed elephants wh polka dots, lns wh wgs, talkg tras) all live together exile hopg Santa will take them to good ltle girls and boys for Christmas one day. " Fearg his red nose will attract the Abomable Snowman to Gay Bar Island (by the way, if I ever open a gay bar, I'm llg "Island of Misf Toys"), Rudolph leav and wanrs alone, eventually returng home to fd out that his terrible, guilt-ridn parents and Clarice went missg lookg for him. Once back at the North Pole, Donner and the other jerks sheepishly apologize to Rudolph bee hey, he may be gay and have a red nose, but he was braver than all of them ever were.
Santa slightly reems himself by sendg the Misf Toys to good hom, even though means last ll at Gay Bar Island.
