Bah Humbug, indeed. The kind folks over at the American Family Association are calling for a boycott of all stores owned by Gap Inc., including Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic.

Why? Allegedly the stores have censored the word "Christmas."

Silly us. More after the jump.

This past August the U.S. Department of the Navy quietly updated its policy, which now allows HIV-positive Sailors and Marines to take overseas assignments and serve on select large ship platforms.

If you happen to be in New York, there's no week that should get you more excited than this one! 

That's right gays, it's FLEET WEEK!!

With this being the first official Fleet Week that our gay sailors are allowed to "ask" and "tell," we wanted to make sure you're all well informed.

And remember, as every sailor knows: a ship always needs a port.
