And wh regard to And Tango Mak Three, my opn (and y, this is only my personal opn, but I do stand by ), if you really thk that readg a betifully illtrated and tenrly reunted picture book story about two male pengus jotly takg re of an egg and then raisg the rultant chick together is eher promotg homosexualy or uld even (oh horror) turn children to homosexuals then om where I am standg you probably have your own ep and dark issu wh sexual inty.
