'Gender fluidity is a farce': Piers Morgan offended by Father Christmas gender debate

Morgan mocked the concept of gender-fluidity and got exasperated by the fact that people were questioning the gender of Father Christmas
UPDATED NOV 29, 2018

Piers Morgan has found a new subject to take offense with, the 'Good Morning Britain' host was left perplexed when the British town council took a vote on whether Father Christmas should be referred to as a man. This gender debate seems to have left the host with much to say. Yahoo News reports that when Morgan read a newspaper article that described how in Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, Father Christmas has been replaced by Mrs. Claus for a charity parade, after members of the town’s council highlighted the right of women to play Santa, he reacted rather strongly. "Father Christmas, as his name suggests, is male. Father Christmas, for all of time, has been Father Christmas. He’s called Father Christmas!” he exclaimed before screwing up the paper. “The world’s gone nuts.”
