"Gay" Penguins Blindside Children

This article reads:

A children's book about two male penguins who raise a baby penguin has been moved to the nonfiction section of two public library branches after parents complained it had homosexual undertones.

The book in question, titled And Tango Makes Three, is based on the true story of two male penguins, Roy and Silo, who adopted an abandoned egg at New York City's Central Park Zoo in the late 1990s. Apparently, adoptions such as this are relatively common among penguins.

So, how can a book like this be a threat to children? It's not.

Christians, on the other hand, perceive it as a threat because it portrays gay characters in a positive light. This, of course, contradicts their messages of hate and condemnation, so they'll do anything to suppress it. I'm surprised they didn't demand that the book be banned entirely.

Parents: your children are YOUR responsibility. If you don't want them to read this book or books like it, then don't let them. It is your prerogative to disagree with the content of any book, but forcing libraries to move or remove materials with which you disagree is censorship, and that is unfair the rest of the community.


Gee, I wonder how the other penguins treated Roy and Silo.
