How is acknowledging the fact that homosexuals exist "promoting" anything?This book promotes homosexuality. Something we are not allowed to do here. What other reason would it be?
How is acknowledging the fact that homosexuals exist "promoting" anything?
I can't see it. How do you figure?Yeah when you take a beloved Saint turned into Santa Clause and market it to kids, I call that promotion.
Not really. I don't see how re imagining an imaginary figure as something that some people simply are is "promoting" anything.I just told you.
Then why is it a problem with Mr. and Mr. Claus? Seems kind of double standard-y.
And you're welcome to your opinion. There are people who disagree with you, and I guess they might like this book. Until such time as you can actually suggest any meaningful, empirical harm caused by this book or similar, I suggest you don't buy it, and leave those who want to to get on with it. That's my plan.I don't like the depiction of Santa Clause being "married" to a "Mr. Clause" because it is an attempt to normalize "gay marriage" which is not actually marriage at all. Books like these are attempts to normalize same-sex "marriage" which is most certainly not normal. It is an aberration and a deformation of the Truth which is that marriage is a sacred and sacramental union between one man and one woman for life. Those who write books such as these are only seeking to normalize that which is gravely immoral and a real perversion of what marriage actually is.
absolutelyWell, my own stance regarding "Santa Claus" is that he is a fictional character, no more or no less than any other fictional characters, such as Superman, Charlie Brown and Snoopy, the Transformers, or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Has no more bearing on Nicholas of Myra or the celebration of Christ's Nativity than Frosty the Snowman or Heat Miser.
3rd option, it's intended to make children in families with homosexual members feel OK about themselves.That having been said, however, the "Santa Claus" story is a harmless enough tale, meant, I think, primarily for little, little children, say, under the age of six or so.
Why someone would choose to take this particular venue to make it into a book such as described is a question worth pondering. I can think of only two reasons: one, the author is either trying to make a fast buck or goad people (as has been mentioned); or two, he actually has an agenda to plant a seed in the minds of small youngsters with the hope that it will grow into something that can be later trained in a certain direction by means of further social engineering.

That sounds very scary. Can you show any empirical real world harm?I have already told you what harm it is causing. It is normalizing that which is a perversion of the Truth.

How is acknowledging the fact that homosexuals exist "promoting" anything?
Riiiiiiight?That homosexuals "exist" is not a fact. That people label themselves as homosexuals is.
Ok. God bless you too.Well, Armoured, I say this respectfully but I do not wish to continue in an endless and what I perceive to be as, futile, debate. God bless you.
If you want to go down the "labels are meaningless" rabbit hole, then the same could be said of any quality not obvious at face value.That homosexuals "exist" is not a fact. That people label themselves as homosexuals is.
