It's an hour long early '60s expansion of a Montgomery Ward children's giveaway comic book. In watching it fresh last night, it's pretty clearly a story about homosexuality mad-libbed into santa's workshop.

Doesn't the story seem like it could apply to any misfit though? You could rewrite that article for any non conforming group I think. Regardless, that's great it's helped people come to terms with their sexuality or endure having to hide it.

Nope. Nope it does not. It's gay AF. Did you not watch either of those clips? Sure - it could be any non-conforming group but it is populated and decorated with homosexual themes and trappings.

Harry potter live in a CLOSET in his parent house.

He only find happiness when he join a group of people RIDING broom, and catching golden BALL, while playing with their magic STICK...

Every misfit story could be about gays

...

Edit:

Gilgamesh is unhappy while he lays with every women in his kingdom. He even reject the goddess of love from his bed.

He only find happiness when he met Enkidu, an alpha male who lived amongst the beast so far. They love each other, and run in the forest until being out of breath.

The rejected goddess, jealous as hell, send them a ragging bull. The two friend slay the beast...

When Enkidu die, Gilgamesh, see no reason to live anymore...

  Every story since the dawn of mankind is about gays
