a heartbreaking letter from a gay boy to Santa went viral after it was shared on Twitter."Dear Santa, do you support the LGBTQ community and if you can speak to God, can you tell him I love him, and if he loves me for being gay[?]" the child asked in the note, which had been posted to a website run by USPS Operation Santa collecting letters penned to Father Christmas.As it turns out, this letter had been read before — and received a response.
Michael Muñoz is an "adopter elf" with Operation Santa, one of a legion of volunteers replying to North Pole letters with words and gifts.Muñoz, a queer Latino New Yorker, almost did not volunteer with the USPS program last year because he "needed a break." However, the letter from the boy changed his.
