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).
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.

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.
