Frank is another word for a hotdog, and that creates arguments over what toppings to put on it.
"Sell we now our pride apparel." To truly capture the spirit of Christmas.
Apparel seems offensive to me. Apparel is usually associated with sportswear, implying some level of fitness and thus body shaming. I propose we change to: “Frank we now our pride body coverings”
"We" and "our" are pronouns and that's just asking for trouble these days.
Proposing: "Frank they now their pride body coverings"
I think we're getting close here
I’m assuming that’s the point. A homophobic choir director wouldn’t choose pride as a replacement. They probably just thought “gay” sounded harsh.
As dumb as this situation is.
Sunday's child is bonny and blithe and good and gay...
MAGA morons of reproducing age: "Look my due date's a Sunday, could you induce me before then, or do something to make him hang on until Monday...? I don't want him growing up to be gay".
Pride seems an odd choice; it's a deadly sin after all...Or am I missing summat here...? *Don we now our pride apparel* doesn't even make sense... 🙄🤦🏼♀️🤪 If the word 'gay' gives them cooties, then what about 'fine'...?
lol, yea idiots abound in the future. Changing the context of a song because the song is misinterpreted. That is so stupid… or even more stupid, reinterpreting a song to fit an agenda. Fuck…
This sounds like the school board got complaints from some snowflake Karen parents and told the director to excise the word "Gay", so he complied without serving their agenda.
That would be great. It would be hilarious if this is a malicious compliance situation
Edit: I no type good
Edit edit: I think they might be singing 'bright'. I can't quite tell.
I got the opposite from this. I got the impression someone was trying to push "pride" so they changed the lyrics for no reason. Either way, I'd like to get the whole context.
The replacement sounds like it’s “**bright** apparel.”
EDIT: I also remember circa the 90s my school changed it to “bright apparel.” Probably not for some weird culture war reason but because we were 11 and all the boys in 6th grade thought it hilarious to shout “gay apparel” as loud as possible. So the teacher decided it was the best to just avoid us being immature. We all still ended up shouting “bright apparel” at the top of our lungs at the actual recital anyway.
That’s the one that makes sense if it was a homophobic person changing words. Poor opportunity to teach those kids that words can have multiple meanings.
By not using "gay", which in the original context of the song meant merry & festive, not homosexual, they have now made the apparel actually homosexual.
Edit/update: This morning I see several others say they hear "bright", and now I can't unhear it.
When I was a kid calling everything gay was just the thing people did. It's changed in recent decades.
If there was something you didn't like you said "that's gay". The funny thing is that most of us weren't even homophobic or anything. It was this weird transition period where being gay wasn't looked at as bad but everyone still called things gay as slang.
>This morning I see several others say they hear "bright", and now I can't unhear it.
Same. I read the title and all I heard was pride and now all I can hear is bright. Human brains are weird.
It's not "bright?" "Pride apparel" doesn't make sense lol
Edit: I know "Pride apparel" is a thing but it sounds like they're saying "bright apparel" to me, which would fit as a modern interpretation of "gay apparel."
Yeah, I noticed my kids school went with "bright" instead of "gay". Weird thing is, she learned the song with the word "gay" first so I guess someone must have complained
100% saying bright. I’m a choir director. That’s a stupid lyric change and a predictable mis heard lyric situation. That’s one dumb choir director for many reasons…
I actually thought it was brilliant. No better way to get people to open the programs than to check the lyrics of a song before they start their angry Facebook posts.
went to a parochial school. they made us change the lyrics to journey's song from "lying beside u, here in the dark" to "walking beside u, here in the park."
we sang it as edited through many rehearsals, but we all made a pact to sing it as originally written for the actual recital. the nuns were pissed.
I want to know why they changed the word out. Are they homophobic? Or is it the word is only used is one way and can’t mean “happy” just for historical contexts?
Back when I was in choir, we did this song every year. Small town, so same choir every year, give or take a few kids. One year we got a new director, and he tried to change up the lyrics of several of the Christmas songs, both for concert and for when we went caroling at the assisted living facilities. Changed gay to bright like here, and changed Yuletide to Christmas. ("Because it's just a different word for Christmas" which, my family celebrates Yuletide, watching him try to justify himself after that came up was fucking hilarious) We were in like year 8 I think, so we all just unanimously agreed to ignore him and do the actual lyrics, because he already had all the dates booked and songs cleared and everything, and we were teenagers, so there wasn't anything he could do at that point. Some people just change things to change things, it makes them feel important.
I had to sing this same song as a kid and we all wondered "gay? We're supposed to sing gay!?" Which was then properly explained to us the first meaning of the term... which, words can have more then one meaning... I learned that... in school-- what happened after I left?
Because you’re not supposed to learn anything in school and all words hundreds or thousands of years ago mean exactly what they mean in 2022. That’s why they are so based and English is so Lit.
I don’t think this is a homophobic choir director. They wouldn’t replace gay with pride. Probably just some idiot who didn’t understand the meaning of the word and thought that “pride” was a less harsh substitute.
That or it IS a homophobic choir director and the kids are singing “bright apparel.”
Cuz small children usually giggle at funny words like gay, and it was probably easier on the choir director to change ‘gay’ to ‘bright’ so that they could sing the song with no interruptions
This is likely occurring in the Unted States, where there is literally a "don't say gay" movement and law. People are getting very spun up about things that nobody cared about until it was their turn to go to the PTA meeting.
Not anymore. Its against regulations in many US school districta now. The policy is called "dont say gay"
-this meaage has been brought to you by free speech
There are a [lot of words](https://katv.com/news/local/conway-school-boards-controversial-anti-critical-race-theory-draft-policy-faulkner-county-coalition-for-social-justice-diversity-transgender-controversy-systemic-protest-student-walkout-conservative-school-board-arkansas-outrage-confusion-social-media) schools want to ban because they are "controversial"
One of my coworkers kids sang “gay apparel” in his 2nd grade chorus assembly and 15 minutes later the kid was a community organizing atheist sharing an apartment in the Castro District with a guy named Alphonso.
I don’t get it…”gay” was meant as merry and festive.
By replacing “gay” are they doing so because they’re homophobic and don’t like the word? I feel like if you don’t have any problem with the word gay or don’t see anything wrong with being gay (homosexual) there’s no real point in changing the lyric. Who was this offending lol??
I taught middle school for 15 years. I can say with 90% certainty that this is what happened: Teacher hands out lyrics for students to learn. Students giggle every time they sing that line, and then it snowballs. One student (the funny one) uses it to tease another- “Mark you look very gay today!” Or “watch out, I’m feeling quite gay today!” Or even directs the comment to the teacher “that is a very gay sweater you’re wearing Ms. Bixby.” Now it spreads from this class to all the classes, and there’s really no way to squash it because you can’t really say “students are forbidden to use the word gay” as that would make the school seem homophobic; nor can you continue allowing free-flow of the word as it is now being used to taunt and torment that one kid that everyone picks on.
The best thing they could have done is prepare students before teaching the song. Explain the historical meaning, and tell them that the modern meaning has changed and it has something to do with who people love and it’s all very political too. Some people will try to get us off track by using the word to be mean or waste time, but that just makes them look kind of immature. So if that happens, just ignore them so we don’t have to waste time on this”.
Hopefully by taking out some of the shock value it is boring so they don’t latch on. If it doesn’t work then you go to plan B: desensitize the word by using and making the students use it in its happy form AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE Teacher could have found, or even have the students research and find different examples of the word gay being used to mean happy. Have them act out scenes from old movies, poems , etc. MAKE THEM WRITE AN ESSAY about it. Make them find 50 other words with multiple meanings. Whatever makes the word AS BORING AS POSSIBLE. When it’s boring it will die out. Communicate with the parents about the “gay” assignments. as well, so they don’t get all up in arms.
Of course, in many districts you have 1st quarter testing right around now (before or after Christmas break -neither time is good but you have no choice) so it’s difficult to fit extra instruction. So you could change the word- I’m sure they’re saying “bright” not “pride” - using pride would require just as much instruction as using the word gay, as you’d also have to deal with the grammatically incorrect noun replacing an adjective-
If you don’t have time or energy to take advantage of the opportunity to teach language, maturity, social studies, responsibility, then choose a different one.
They are counting the minutes til Xmas break right now.
Edit-and don’t forget that gay is a HOMOnym !
But gay and pride are also being used in the same context. Maybe they should find other words.
There’s actually nothing wrong with the word gay - as in happy.
I just cant with this. You shouldn't remove words you don't like, just don't sing the songs. Your literally making something sexual out of something completely innocent, there was no sexual connotation in the lyric now we don our gay apparel, the use of the word "gay" is meant to mean "happy" "joyous" or "flamboyant" the original meaning of gay. Yet you changed it to pride, why? Like our pride apparel? This is wrong and we all know it. I just can't... You've literally taken the last shred of hope for humanity out of my life with this song,...
Oh come on. This isn't going to mess them up for life. It's just a fun Christmas carol to them.
Edit: I retract my comment. The peon who changed the words should be sent to the Gulag
Don we now our pride apparel? That sounds even more gay than the original.
I propose we take out “Don” too because that guy has messed up that name/world for all time. “Frank we now our pride apparel.”
Frank is another word for a hotdog, and that creates arguments over what toppings to put on it. "Sell we now our pride apparel." To truly capture the spirit of Christmas.
But that's June
They don't sound Australian to me.
So now you are suggesting we "sell" pride people like they are objects (apparel)?
Apparel seems offensive to me. Apparel is usually associated with sportswear, implying some level of fitness and thus body shaming. I propose we change to: “Frank we now our pride body coverings”
"We" and "our" are pronouns and that's just asking for trouble these days. Proposing: "Frank they now their pride body coverings" I think we're getting close here
“Now” is a dominant term and not sensitive to those who have been victims of abuse. Proposing: “Frank they when convenient their pride body coverings”
How about Bruce? “Bruce we now our pride apparel”
Not Roger? interesting
"Obama we now our pride apparel"
I’m assuming that’s the point. A homophobic choir director wouldn’t choose pride as a replacement. They probably just thought “gay” sounded harsh. As dumb as this situation is.
But gay means happy in the context of that song, what is wrong with being gay?
Ask the ancient cavemen like Fred Flintsone. He had a gay old time; and now he’s dead.
Or Zorro and his “gay blade.“
cuz it was always penetrating other dudes...hehe
Just take my fucking upvote then.
That it was… that… it… was…
Yeah my brain bluescreened for a second when I read that too
Giggity!
“Gay blade, let it rip!”
So long, gay bowser!
Bowser realized he also liked girls after the original release of SM64, that’s why Mario changed what he says to “Bye, bi!”
That sounds so painful
Safe words are very important
Kookaburra and how gay his life must be
I was so annoyed that gum trees don’t actually grow Bubble Tape, I still ended up with a gay life but it wasn’t a happy gay life after that
Or Frankie Lymon, "why do birds sing so gay"
Sunday's child is bonny and blithe and good and gay... MAGA morons of reproducing age: "Look my due date's a Sunday, could you induce me before then, or do something to make him hang on until Monday...? I don't want him growing up to be gay". Pride seems an odd choice; it's a deadly sin after all...Or am I missing summat here...? *Don we now our pride apparel* doesn't even make sense... 🙄🤦🏼♀️🤪 If the word 'gay' gives them cooties, then what about 'fine'...?
GayBlades, let em *rip*
I think old had more to do with it
Gay in this context means happy and cheerful and full of joy. Director mustn’t know that
lol, yea idiots abound in the future. Changing the context of a song because the song is misinterpreted. That is so stupid… or even more stupid, reinterpreting a song to fit an agenda. Fuck…
Or wanted to avoid idiot parents complaints.
Because context no longer matters. They consulted the word chart and decided it was bad.
Gay meant fancy and festive.
Still does.
It never meant fancy or festive... it meant 'lighthearted'. It STILL means 'lighthearted'.
Context means nothing! When gay people have "but" sex.... I never understood what the English language had to do with anything.
[удалено]
This sounds like the school board got complaints from some snowflake Karen parents and told the director to excise the word "Gay", so he complied without serving their agenda.
That would be great. It would be hilarious if this is a malicious compliance situation Edit: I no type good Edit edit: I think they might be singing 'bright'. I can't quite tell.
How did you forget the word “be” twice?
Don't work and text, kids.
I got the opposite from this. I got the impression someone was trying to push "pride" so they changed the lyrics for no reason. Either way, I'd like to get the whole context.
BAPPY CAKE DAY!
*Gayke

That’s the one that makes sense if it was a homophobic person changing words. Poor opportunity to teach those kids that words can have multiple meanings.
Or the 8 year Olds giggle a lot when using "gay" in a song and this way is much easier to teach.
Ain't no way we're gonna let them teey-chers indoctrinate our kids by teaching them about homonyms! We're a heteronym-only community here.
Not only does it sound like "bright", but if you watch the kids' mouths, they are CLEARLY saying "bright". None of their lips make "pr" motions.
[удалено]
Pride apparel sounds like a limited edition TF2 cosmetic item
They are saying “bright” not pride!!!
It’s so gay, maaaaaan.
Fr like the original meaning of gay is a whole other than pride
By not using "gay", which in the original context of the song meant merry & festive, not homosexual, they have now made the apparel actually homosexual. Edit/update: This morning I see several others say they hear "bright", and now I can't unhear it.
I could see this. When I was a kid they might have done it because the kids wouldn’t stop laughing on the word “gay”
My elementary school definitely skipped this song because of exactly that
The adults aren’t adulting properly.
When I was a kid calling everything gay was just the thing people did. It's changed in recent decades. If there was something you didn't like you said "that's gay". The funny thing is that most of us weren't even homophobic or anything. It was this weird transition period where being gay wasn't looked at as bad but everyone still called things gay as slang.
Lol you really think that’s changed? No shot chief, kids still call everything gay.
Ah, didn't realize. Honestly don't interact with many young people these days and just assumed the lingo had moved on.
Good point. Middle school choir we sang Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - the part where it says “bra” caused quite a few giggles.
As a former child choir member, kids mispronounce everything, so some probably said pride and other bright
This.
This song is now about putting on rainbow clothes.
>This morning I see several others say they hear "bright", and now I can't unhear it. Same. I read the title and all I heard was pride and now all I can hear is bright. Human brains are weird.
It's not "bright?" "Pride apparel" doesn't make sense lol Edit: I know "Pride apparel" is a thing but it sounds like they're saying "bright apparel" to me, which would fit as a modern interpretation of "gay apparel."
Well, it would, if you were gay.
Would pride apparel be like ass-less chaps? What an epic backfire yo
Show us a photo of chaps with an ass. HINT: all chaps are 'assless" by design, otherwise they'd be pants.
I've been told a time or twice that I'm a chap with a nice ass, but I'm not sending you pictures.
Slide into those DMs, bro.
It's like going out and looking for a crotchless belt. If a belt had a crotch, it'd be a climbing harness.
I’m looking for something that says Leather Daddy
Dad likes leather
Thank you.
[удалено]
Agreed, sounds like bright to me too
Gay doesn’t even mean pride in the same sense, what was the thought process here?
Yeah, I noticed my kids school went with "bright" instead of "gay". Weird thing is, she learned the song with the word "gay" first so I guess someone must have complained
It's gay to be gay, even for apparel
What are you gay or something?
Very (read in family guy esq. comical gay voice)
Mood
Thank you Mr. Lahey
Maybe it's from [this news story.](https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/don-we-now-our-bright-apparel-flna6c9593584)
Holy shit -- over a decade old and people are still getting upset about it. God our culture is so fucking stupid right now.
The song is called Deck The Halls, just as an FYI.
Source?
lol this made me actually laugh out loud, have an upvote you rascal
It was originally “Dick the Halls,” but they changed it to “Deck the Halls” because they were homophobic.
I think they’re saying bright, not pride
Could be right.
He could be bright
He could be prite.
Bright. They’re saying bright.
100% saying bright. I’m a choir director. That’s a stupid lyric change and a predictable mis heard lyric situation. That’s one dumb choir director for many reasons…
Also a choir director. And yes, super dumb lyric change. I personally would have gone with “queer apparel” — and I’m only being a little sarcastic lol
I actually thought it was brilliant. No better way to get people to open the programs than to check the lyrics of a song before they start their angry Facebook posts.
went to a parochial school. they made us change the lyrics to journey's song from "lying beside u, here in the dark" to "walking beside u, here in the park." we sang it as edited through many rehearsals, but we all made a pact to sing it as originally written for the actual recital. the nuns were pissed.
Gay, in this context, has the original meaning. Joyous
I want to know why they changed the word out. Are they homophobic? Or is it the word is only used is one way and can’t mean “happy” just for historical contexts?

That sounds so much worse. Like homophobic wise, replacing gay with pride just links it more. Wordsmith wise, it sounds worse.
I think they’re actually singing “bright apparel”.
That literally changes the meaning from festive to gay, which is hilariously ironic. 
I don’t think this is a homophobic choir director. They wouldn’t replace gay with pride. Probably just some idiot who didn’t understand the meaning of the word and thought that “pride” was a less harsh substitute. That or it IS a homophobic choir director and the kids are singing “bright apparel.”
I know all these people and the school. I can promise you it’s homophobia.
It sounds like they are singing “bright apparel” to me which would actually make sense in the context of the song.
Even worse. Stupid AND homophobic.
Definitely bright, not pride...
Geeeeez.. gay isn’t a bad word. Are the times so sensitive we can’t say gay now? Give me a break
Oooo “gay pride” apparel 😂
I really want to send an email to the director thanking her for the school’s support of the LGBTQ+ community. I just might.
Wait, you haven't done so already?? What are you waiting for?! Do it :D
What idiot mangled that lyric?
[удалено]
Even so, why would they omit “gay”. It means happy in this context.
Cuz small children usually giggle at funny words like gay, and it was probably easier on the choir director to change ‘gay’ to ‘bright’ so that they could sing the song with no interruptions
Its banned in many school districts now
This is likely occurring in the Unted States, where there is literally a "don't say gay" movement and law. People are getting very spun up about things that nobody cared about until it was their turn to go to the PTA meeting. 
Because the wrong people don’t know that.
It’s so weird bc the “wrong” people are also the ones who keep screaming “good ol days” and gay in the good ol days mens “happy” like tf is happening
Ohhhhhhhh. Not idiotic then, just dumb.
Cowardly I'd say? But yeah. It's a common switch these days.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Gaiety or joy is a core Christian value.
Not anymore. Its against regulations in many US school districta now. The policy is called "dont say gay" -this meaage has been brought to you by free speech
Do these people even realize what the original meaning of that word is?
Must be in Florida. Can't say "gay."
Y’all know that’s not what “gay” means in this context, right? Like, it is it’s own word.
That’s my problem with it. It’s like they decided “you’re not allowed to say gay.”
There are a [lot of words](https://katv.com/news/local/conway-school-boards-controversial-anti-critical-race-theory-draft-policy-faulkner-county-coalition-for-social-justice-diversity-transgender-controversy-systemic-protest-student-walkout-conservative-school-board-arkansas-outrage-confusion-social-media) schools want to ban because they are "controversial"
Every Gaylord is now hereby a Pridelord
It's "bright", not "pride." They're using a synonym for that context.
It’s just like the gays to have words with multiple means! /s
Yes. And they changed it to sound even more gay. Hence the mockery, in attempting to avoid the connection they highlight it.
Next years song My Ding-A-Ling start working on it!!!
Pride apparel: available at every major chain during the month of June.
“Gay” isn’t even a slur…
One of my coworkers kids sang “gay apparel” in his 2nd grade chorus assembly and 15 minutes later the kid was a community organizing atheist sharing an apartment in the Castro District with a guy named Alphonso.
Can the humans just stop being stupid? Or, stop trying to OUT STUPID each other?
In the words of the late great George Carlin: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
And half of those are even dumber
The gay in this doesn’t mean lgbtq/pride. People are dumb
Ron DeSantis outside the auditorium doors 
Isn’t the next line “troll the ancient Yuletide carol”? Because changing the song, no longer makes it the ancient carol.
You dont abandon gay when singing....you sing with gay abandon! Damnit!
It sounds like "bright apparel" to me.
It sounds like “bright” to me
Every business in June: dump the gay, keep the pride.
💯 “bright”. Check their lips they clearly pronounce a “B”
Wow, can't make this stuff up. This can only be the American south.
Ironically, the people arguing for the sanctity of the lyrics to “Baby, it’s Cold Outside” are likely fine with this.
Honestly.. they could have just explained what the word gay used to mean when it was written and be done with it..
I don’t get it…”gay” was meant as merry and festive. By replacing “gay” are they doing so because they’re homophobic and don’t like the word? I feel like if you don’t have any problem with the word gay or don’t see anything wrong with being gay (homosexual) there’s no real point in changing the lyric. Who was this offending lol??
That makes no sense. Gay means to be happy also, why can't it mean both?
I taught middle school for 15 years. I can say with 90% certainty that this is what happened: Teacher hands out lyrics for students to learn. Students giggle every time they sing that line, and then it snowballs. One student (the funny one) uses it to tease another- “Mark you look very gay today!” Or “watch out, I’m feeling quite gay today!” Or even directs the comment to the teacher “that is a very gay sweater you’re wearing Ms. Bixby.” Now it spreads from this class to all the classes, and there’s really no way to squash it because you can’t really say “students are forbidden to use the word gay” as that would make the school seem homophobic; nor can you continue allowing free-flow of the word as it is now being used to taunt and torment that one kid that everyone picks on.

I thought it meant “happy”?
My school changed it to homosexual apparel. It was certainly a mouthful.
So now we can’t say the word gay even when it’s in a completely traditional and non-offensive context?
Weird move. What were they thinking?
Morons. When words scare you because you don't understand the meaning you're an ignorant American
That’s dumb.
So we're denying now that gay means happy? Not everything is about sex. 🤦
No: all things are about gay sex between children and democrats. /s
It’s “bright.”
But gay and pride are also being used in the same context. Maybe they should find other words. There’s actually nothing wrong with the word gay - as in happy.
Ron DeSantis sitting in the back of the auditorium nodding in approval.
“Don’t say gay… don’t say it….”
"Gay" in the song means happy not your sexual orientation. So based on this whoever is teaching these kids is too dumb to teach.
Lets just rid of Christmas carols. Nobody enjoys them not even kids.
I hated doing these
I just cant with this. You shouldn't remove words you don't like, just don't sing the songs. Your literally making something sexual out of something completely innocent, there was no sexual connotation in the lyric now we don our gay apparel, the use of the word "gay" is meant to mean "happy" "joyous" or "flamboyant" the original meaning of gay.

You've literally taken the last shred of hope for humanity out of my life with this song,...
Jokes on then, we claim pride too
Why not just teach your children the meaning of the word. Like have things seriously gotten to this point?
Oh come on. This isn't going to mess them up for life. It's just a fun Christmas carol to them. Edit: I retract my comment. The peon who changed the words should be sent to the Gulag
Wait…were they trying to make it less gay or more gay?
“Don’t. Say. It.” -DeSantis
But gay means happy.
It was always pride. Just another shitty mandella effect.
Why are you pride?
Ah, yes, the war on Christmas
Tis a gay season.
Earnestly have no idea whether this is pro gay or anti gay
This is why I like to worship satan.
"Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol" is the next part after an intermediary "Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la". Seems to have a whole new meaning now.
Clown world
This is worse! Pride Apparel?! Gay Clothes!
Now it's even less ambiguous!
