I read this book as a part of my “Banned Book Series” where I’m challenging myself to read as many of the banned books in America as I can. And the fact that this book is banned in multiple states is so ridiculous it’s almost comical. This adorable children’s story is based on a TRUE story. And so if someone is triggered by some gay penguins then I think they qualify as a certified snowflake. One of the huge arguments against gay rights is that “it’s not natural. Animals in nature aren’t gay” scientifically it actually happens all the time. In fact many animals can change their gender/sex too. So when nature went against their agenda I guess they decided “we better ban this book so people don’t learn about how stupid we are” it’s far too late for that. Cute book. Cute gay penguins. Book bans are not cute. They are censorship and it’s also something the nazis did. Resist it and read as many banned books as you can!
