They might mean that there’s no date given in the Bible, and many people believe that the choice of Dec. 25 was made to co-opt a pagan solstice festival.

Or loudly playing the album by Venus Envy, [_I’ll be a Homo for Christmas_](http://www.amazon.com/Ill-Homo-Christmas-Venus-Envy/dp/B000008T5L). Besides the title song, it features such songs as Silent Dyke, Lesbians we have heard on High, Rhonda the Lesbo Reindeer, The 12 Gays of Christmas, etc.

They do seem to have a bit of a one-dimensional complaint.

That’s a good one.

A local group used to sing the following. I don’t think I need to tell everyone the tune.

\*Come and listen to my story ‘bout a man named Fred  
A bold minister with lots of hate inside his head.  
And then one day he was lookin’ for a cause,  
And said to himself "I’ll hate homosexuals!’  
(Queers that is, sodomites)

Well the next thing you know ol’ Fred’s a picketeer  
Cursing anyone who acts remotely queer  
We thing that somewhere else is where he really oughta be  
And while he’s at it he can take his whole darn family.  
(Siberia, Timbuktu)

Well now it’s time to say goodbye to Fred and all his kin  
We can’t say that we’re glad but that we’re sorry they stopped in  
And if by chance they should come back to this locality  
We’ll have to show them some of our great hospitality!  
(Tar that is, feathers)

Don’t come back now, ya hear?
