'Gay' penguins book frozen out in Missouri libraries

The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » The radical gay penguin agenda must be stopped

OK. So, apparently, a book has been removed from the children's section of a library because it tells the story of two male penguins who adopt an abandoned egg and raise the chick. This is apparently too close to encouraging homosexual behavior!

As I understand it, this is based on events that actually took place in the '90s in a NYC zoo. So, therefore, they apparently felt justified in removing it from the children's section, and moving it to the non-fiction section. Now, I haven't read the book, but I'm guessing that it is very much a work of fiction. It just happens to have some basis in fact.

As much as I'm angered about this specific action, I'm actually wondering if this might not be a good sign. No, hear me out! ;) If the forces of homophobia are so desperate that they have to attack a simple children's book, maybe they're recognizing, on some level, that they're fighting a losing battle, and they're frantically looking for any place where they can try to hold back the flood. But the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dike (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) will soon find himself in water over his head.

Some people need to go to therapy to learn how to deal....or...at the very least....get a life. I can assure you I don't have time in my day to scour the children's books in the library looking for hidden context that might be construed as supporting gay marriage.

My girlfriend says that the little Dutch boy should keep his finger out of the dike.

Yes. That might not be family-appropriate. But you started it.

Anyway, I thought that was ridiculous too. Must stop the gay penguin agenda!!!
