RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REER: A GAY CHRISTMAS ALLEGORY
One of the numero readgs of the show is that is a parable about the hardship faced by gay kids mid-century Ameri, many of whom were rejected by their fathers, their peers, and their theory is reified back at Santa’s ltle forced-labor mp. 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.
In the time-honored tradn of kids his suatn, Hermey ns Santa’s workshop are not supposed to be shamed, gay-bashed, and forced to n away! 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).
