Parents Complain About Book's Undertones
Saturday March 4, 2006 5:31 PM
SAVANNAH, Mo. (AP) - A children's book about two male penguins that
raise a baby penguin has been moved to the nonfiction section of two
public library branches after parents complained it had homosexual
undertones.
The illustrated book, ``And Tango Makes Three,'' is based on a true
story of two male penguins, named Roy and Silo, who adopted an abandoned
egg at New York City's Central Park Zoo in the late 1990s.
The book, written by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, was moved from
the children's section at two Rolling Hills' Consolidated Library's
branches in Savannah and St. Joseph in northwest Missouri.
Two parents had expressed concerns about the book last month.
Barbara Read, the Rolling Hills' director, said experts report that
adoptions aren't unusual in the penguin world. However, moving the book
to the nonfiction section would decrease the chance that it would
``blindside'' readers, she said.

Buffoons.
You know, I used to have finches. I want to again but the bird flu scare
has me hesitating (one thing I know they'll do in a bird flu panic is kill
pet birds left and right). But I had two male Societies that took over a
nest, sat the eggs, hatched the kids, fed them, raised them, you name it.
This kind of thing happens in nature a hell of lot more than the
christbots want to contemplate...

I wonder if we should propose a "God Theory" or "Jesus Theory" or "Allah
Theory"? That way we have everyone on the same page so to speak. There is
only one problem and that is how to make it sound "Politically Correct". If
these people want to play hardball, let's play hardball.
Creationism - Intelligent Design
God - Creator Theory?
Any ideas?

Were they "romantic", though? And why are you afraid of birdflu? Are
they going to fly wild?
I'm kinda worried about my pet bird and the bird flu too. Well not the
bird flu, the government, as you say... who would probably kill him.
But as they are pets, I think we humans are the greater threats. The
bird virus transferred to a cat in germany. So if they were going to
be consistent they'd have to kill all animals, which is just not
feasable, but something I believe they WOULD do during a pandemic.

And Tango Makes Three? Whatever you think, you will not be able to
change God's Word regarding homosexuality and will one day have to pay
the price for not believing what God has written.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it
is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be
put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:22-27
V22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, V23 And
changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping
things.
V24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
V25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served
the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed for ever. Amen.
V26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature:
V27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their
error which was meet.
1 Timothy 1:8-10
V8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
V9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for
the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for
unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers,
for manslayers,
V10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for
menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other
thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal
hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away
my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my
heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.

There is nothing below that relates to homosexuality and nothing that
you can do can change that. Women were treated as property back then
and for men to treat other men as property is an abomoniation.
We've seen *ALL* these verses before and no matter *HOW MANY TIMES*
someone thinks they've something new, trust me. They've been debunked
so many times in the past that, frankly, I'm sick of debunking them myself.
Remember that Jesus said to not follow any law of man and, instead,
follow God.
Leviticus said to not eat shellfish, wear clothing of two different
fabrics, or trim your beard/sideburns, too.
Idiot.

I love how it was fundy idiots who started this by touting "March of the
Penguins" as promoting traditional marriage. Of course, people who
studied penguins knew that these were not exclusively monagamous or life
long or heterosexual bonds. It's common for same-sex groups of male
penguins and groups of female penguins take turns raising the children.

Maybe they'll also finally realize the evolutionary implications here. It
would take a truly incompetent designer to build a penguin, when so many
better design choices could have been made.
