“I don’t think Walmart did their research on the difference between male and female Cardinals,” he said in the viral video, showing different decorative items with two red cardinals.
“Tis the season to be merry and gay,” he quipped before ending the clip.
Male and female cardinals are quite different when it comes to the color of their feathers. The males are identified with their bold, bright red color while the females are more of a pale or earthy brown with just tinges of red.

“I love this time of year JUST because of the gay cardinals. the homophobic grandmas love their gay cardinals,” one said.
“I have a pair of cardinals tattooed on my back to represent my grandma & grandpa and it’s shocking how many have asked why one of the cardinals isn’t red,” read another comment.

“I bought my grandma a gay cardinal centerpiece as a silent act of rebellion a few years back,” they said.
