Tango the baby penguin and his two dads must be sad to have slipped from the #1 slot to #2 over the last year. The reason for requested removal? Homosexuality. Yes, apparently gay flightless waterfowl pose a serious threat to the moral fiber of our nation. On the other hand, it's good to know that our society has become more tolerant of non-traditional penguin families.Really? Really? A children's book made the #2 most requested banned book of 2009. Awesome.
We have this book for Hazel. I love it. It is one of my favorites and it's extremely sad to see that people are trying to ban it. It's a great book showing how you do not need the traditional makings of a mom, dad and baby to make a family...which is great in a time where THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TRADITIONAL FAMILY ANYMORE!
