It’s December, and a lot of you are going to be visiting your families of origin. And you might be wearing a lot of sweaters because it’s cold outside.

When you’re visiting family, you might want to show your pride. Or maybe come out subtly to more distant relatives who are looking for a friendly face at the family get-togethers.

Or you might want to show people that, no, it wasn’t just a phase.

You know “Don we now our gay apparel”? The line from the song that uses “gay” but not to mean “homosexual” and that has made kids giggle for decades because that’s one of the ways they’re taught to be homophobic?

Wear this and ask your 11-year-old nephew what’s so funny when he giggles. Eleven is as good an age as any to learn what it feels like to be called out in public.
