This is an incredibly terrible move by the filmmakers, especially considering the fact that the movie was already made .

But even if it hadn’t been, and it had been a last-minute decision, this still wouldn’t be okay.
Alright class, which one of you remembers ‘Too Cool For Christmas’?
Also known as A Very Cool Christmas ? Anyone? Anyone?
It was a 2004 movie about a fashion-conscious girl who would rather spend the holiday with her boyfriend than her lame parents. Then she gives Santa a makeover.
Anyone?
Well, regardless, it was a movie that featured a gay couple.
Very progressive for 2004, and it garnered a thumbs up from the LGBTQ community at the time.
Finally, a movie where gay couples were being represented in a film as regular people!
Well, that is, if you lived in Canada.
Yes, this piece of trivia popped up on Twitter about the famous… well, semi-famous… well, now infamous Christmas movie, saying the gay couple changed to a straight one if you weren’t Canadian.
Score one for Canada.
Oh well, it just seems as though American audiences just weren’t ready to face the fact that gay people were real.
Hopefully, something like this never happens again.
