Wasn't a problem in the 60's or 70's either. People should mind their own damned business. If they are Jews and celebrate Hanukka, fine. If they are Christians and celebrate Christmas, fine. If you don't believe and don't want to celebrate, fine. Like Enri said, everyone should do their own thing and not get bent out of shape!

And if you find Ho, Ho, Ho offensive, maybe you should wear less makeup, longer skirts, and lower heels.

Saw something in the news the other day - don't remember where it was (maybe philadelphia?) There was a woman in a DHS housing project that was TOLD to remove her Christmas decorations from the common areas near her house/apartment. And that if she didn't she would be kicked out. I agree - this is going too far. BTW, her neighbors didn't object. It was the "Management".

I guess we won't be able to call children - kids - soon. Because it is a derogatory term used for a donkey's (read A$$'s) offspring.

Thought a kid was the offspring of a goat.

"Ho Ho Ho" has never been "offensive" in my eyes... As long as you say two or more "Ho Ho"s

That reminds me, so are the Hostess "Ho-Ho's" now offensive?

I personally like pink hotpants on the right man.....Chris Richardson from the Black Crows was able to pull it off rather well at one of their concerts quite a few years ago....and I LOVE RuPaul.....he looks better as a woman than his usual manself....I love the "gay apparel" if that's the connotation in the end result....
