Homosexual Santa Claus in Norwegian commercial and causes controversy in the world
On this occasion, it was Santa Claus, the character adopted to reflect this important social issue, through a commercial of the postal service Posten Norge, which published a video clip on its social networks, showing the love story between him and a man, declaring himself openly homosexual.
In the commercial in question, Santa Claus appears visiting the house of a man, who is excited to see him, possibly a former love of the Christmas character, who also comments: “All I want for Christmas is you”, to later seal the meeting with a kiss.
