Gay Penguins Book Tops US Banned Books List


The American Library Association's 'most challenged' books of 2008 include a children's book about two male zoo penguins raising a chick together "And Tango Makes Three" for the third year running.

Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell's And Tango Makes Three, a children's book about two male penguins who bring up an orphaned chick. Based on a newspaper story the authors saw about a zookeeper who noticed two of his penguins trying to hatch a stone, the book was criticised for being pro-gay, anti-religion and anti-family.

Who knew that penguins were anti-religious?
