No, LGBT Children's Books Do Not 'Endanger' Kids http://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/1/22/no-lgbt-childrens-books-do-not-endanger-kidsThe Advocate/By Jase Peeples January 22 2016 9:24 AM EST
""LGBT books for kids should be considered endangering the wellbeing of a child!" Those were the words that leapt off my laptop's LCD screen when I fired up my Twitter feed one morning last spring. It was only a few days after I had launched a Kickstarter campaign to help bring my first picture book to life, Square Zair Pair. The story — a tale about magical round- and square-shaped animals called Zairs that always pair in twos (one of each shape) and learn a lesson about the importance of diversity after they reject a pair of square Zairs — is an obvious LGBT allegory. But the themes of kindness, acceptance, love, friendship, diversity, and community reach so much further than the label "LGBT children's book" conveys on the surface."
