Make the Yuletide Gay

A 2009 Gay Christmas movie. Yeah, you read that right. Make the Yuletide Gay is about Gunn, a gay college student who is president of the GLBT student council, going home to his parents. The twist: he's not out to them. Even better: his boyfriend, Nathan, comes for a surprise visit to spend the Christmas holiday with them. Leading to a wacky Christmas season as they try and keep everything under wraps.

A sequel is coming out in December 2011.
