They thought it was a bad idea because it was telling children it was okay to be gay. <br /><br />It is okay, and I have friends who grew up in families with gay parents. Literature should be a place for all peoples, religions, and cultures. There should be no limits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503400522084515874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926052979661322999.post-44681077674771910822011-08-27T07:01:11.827-04:002011-08-27T07:01:11.827-04:00Thanks, Kris and Jon.

I spend some of my time making sure that my kids know that all things are possible for them, including having a family if they choose same sex partners. I would love literature to reflect all types of families, and would love to not have to hunt down these titles. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be wonderful if books they read just happened to reflect all types of families? Thanks again for the lists and looking into this!Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926052979661322999.post-78901383622039587712011-08-26T14:38:44.231-04:002011-08-26T14:38:44.231-04:00This is a great point.
