Ok, so I went online to look-up some reviews on a book I'd read when I was little after hearing it mentioned by a friend and I came across this.

My first thought, upon reading that first paragraph was the parents were muddying their poor kid's world-view by encouraging the reading of "gay materiel, straight materiel, and everything in-between."

Anyway, it got worse as they commandeer the main-character into a homosexual role... truly disturbing, IMO, that they are so concerned with their kid's sexuality at this point... but I digress.

The last comment, said anonymously, was the most sane thing on the page: "Somehow I fear this isn't a parody. Well, if you get to feel progressive while your kid gets a great book, it's a win-win, I guess."

All cats are gay. I always call my male cats girls. Always have.

I heard the Cat in the Hat was gay, but you hear a lot of things if you live long enough.

Well, our boy cat is a bit of a pussy...

Then again, we did have the poor guy's nads removed.
