Now I know why I lobotomized myself when I read the Twilight series. If only I had read Harry Potter first. Then I would have learned the spell to make this all go away.

You are mistaken. The book in question in this case is “In Our Mothers’ House”, not “And Tango Makes Three”.

Yeah, your theory’s pretty good except for one flaw (sorry, not flaw*less*, not yet anyway): I for one have never understood the deal with vacuuming. Or dusting, for that matter.

Clearly, the Homopocalypse (I personally prefer “Homopocalypso”–it’s so very cheery!) would also wreak havoc on the supply and demand of domestic help, which in and of itself should up-end the lifestyles (alternative or otherwise) of those who have the time to worry about books about lesbian mothers in libraries.

So win-win-winning.

I remain flauntingly (and lovingly) yours, Montags On Fire, Esquire.

I think it’s sickening that these people are being shamed for their legal, nonviolent choices. What six consenting (and one dissenting) adults do in the privacy of their own committee is nobody’s business but their own.

This so-called “Annoyed Librarian” and the rest of the mainstream niche professional media should be ashamed to promote such an atmosphere of intolerance towards honest bigotry.

@teetop, thanks! FYI, I agree with AL.

I have read the book and am fairly sure both penguins are male. I know that isn’t germane to the homosexuality issue, but I wonder where all this “lesbian” flap is coming from…Correct me if I am mistaken.

“Reading a book about a sympathetic character will make you just like that character”
Wow. That’s exactly the argument of the Twilight haters.
Not that I’m defending it, you understand, it’s just that idiots come from across the political spectrum.
Anyway, great post, God.
