Santa Claus Conquers the Homophobes

"I wish I could hope to ever attain one-thousandth the perversity of
Robert Devereaux's toenail clippings."
-Poppy Z. Brite

Santa Claus is back.

And flying beside him is Wendy, his freshly minted stepdaughter, who
can peer into the future of selected children and offer them glimpses
of the wonders ahead.

But with that power come horrific visions of the turmoil and trouble
the less fortunate among them are fated to suffer.

Can Wendy and her stepfather prevent the suicide of Jamie Stratton in
his teen years, as he grows up gay in a homophobic household and
community? God the Father grants them three Thanksgiving visits to
Jamie's tormentors, in hopes of bringing about a change of heart in
them and eliminating their ingrained prejudices.

Beyond the challenge of rescuing one precious child lies the far more
daunting task of expunging entirely this brand of bigotry from the
human race, as Santa and Wendy strive to remake the world in
compassion and generosity.

Along the way, they enlist the aid of the Easter Bunny, a highly
persuasive fellow indeed.

But the Tooth Fairy and her loathsome imps are hell-bent on doing all
they can to stop Santa and Wendy-nay, to heighten mortal fear and
hatred of anyone whose orientation strays even the slightest from the
norm.
