Obviously Hermey the elf from "Rudolph" is gay, but lowkey so are a lot of the characters from this particular special. Yukon Cornelius is that bear uncle who never married and goes on expeditions to the North Pole doing god knows what....

I was a docent/tour-guide at the 9/11 WTC Museum for a few years - before the memorial formally opened. They wanted us to call a staircase, "the Survivors' Staircase", and had a name I forget for a tree.
I turned in my tour ID.
