Parents complain about ‘gay penguin’ children’s book
No, the penguins aren’t even gay in the book. They just worked together to help raise an adopted egg.
A book about two male penguins that raised a baby penguin has been moved from the children’s section to the non-fiction section of two public library branches after parents complained about homosexual undertones.
The illustrated children’s book, “And Tango Makes Three
,†is based on a true story of two male penguins in New York City’s Central Park Zoo.
The penguins, named Roy and Silo, adopted an abandoned egg in the late 1990s.
I don’t know why libraries become such a central issue of debate when it comes to conservatives. Do they just find them to be an easy target because libraries tend to back down really easily?
I guess they’re afraid the book might lure children to explore the lifestyle of a gay penguin. Just…. incredible.
