    I live in Florida, and I straight up believed that headline. I would not be the least bit surprised if that headline were real.

    “It’s not even about homosexuality. I just don’t want any of you to be happy or joyful.”

      In fairness, Christmas creeps the shit out of me. It’s so gaudy, ultra-commercial and fueled with fake happiness and holiday cheer nobody gets to experience because it’s so damn stressful socially and financially, that’s one tradition I’d gladly do without.

      Fuck Christmas.

      Oh and yeah, fuck DeSantis too. No relationship, just something that needs saying.

        i find it far less stressful these days

        people know i nether give nor would i like to receive presents - i buy little gifts for people to solve problems for them all the time and give them when i’ve bought them

        i don’t consume much that has ads so i just don’t see much of the commercial aspect unless i’m physically in a place

        not giving gifts means im not often physically in places to see the ultra commercial crap

        if someone makes christmas socially stressful for me, they get less time next year… i wont tell them: they’re usually too “busy” (in their own world) to notice, and eventually i just don’t see them at christmas… or i see them a tolerable amount

        i also do “orphans christmas” with friends, even though im from the city i live in and my family are all still here… my chosen family are just as (more: let’s go with more) important to me as my biological family

        christmas is an excuse to catch up with people you don’t see very often… it’s up to you to choose to make it only that. don’t let other people’s expectations stress you out

    Easy workaround:

    […]
    It’s the hap-happiest season of all,
    With those holiday greetings and homosexual happy meetings […]

    There… Not banned anymore 🙂

    Ron said he’s sick of everyone calling his lifts gay high heels. After which he yelled, “they are not gay! Nothing is gay! Staying stuff is gay is illegal!” In response, one reporter said, “Ron we now our gay apparel?” And Ron said “it’s Don that’s gay he blew Clinton and I’m removing gay references from all of Christmas!”
