Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: The problem is that a lot of people feel that there has been a concerted effort for a long time now to get homosexuality in the face of people as much as possible. How many children's books are about two people falling in love, period (regardless of gay or straight)? I've got children and we run across a LOT of books. Few are about that. Now young adult books are a different story. But not children's books. So if these children's books are about gay people falling in love, they were written that way on purpose. So my question is, why can't gay people just write honest children's books with NO agenda? If these books have gay relationships in them, and they are children's books, then there is every reason to believe they were written that way as an agenda. And I'd say for a book titled Heather Has Two Moms, an agenda is pretty obvious.\nSheesh, whatever happened to good 'ol Dr. Seuss?
Response: So it is a bad thing that children read about people and families that exisist and that they are likely to come across? What about King and King? That is a story of a prince falling in love with another prince. If King and king has an agenda then so does snow white, cinderella, Repunzel, and sleeping beauty. Ever read the real stories for yourself, not the cleaned up Disney versions, they are gruesome little tales that would give any child nightmares and make King and King look tame.
