Quick! Someone write an adorable children's book about them so Republicans can ban it!
I'd love a children's book that helps kids in queer families deal with judgment from their piers. I used to "mask." I still do on accident. I still use gender neutral terms to refer to my partner because I'm terrified of being othered.
I love this story, I love the pink undertonees. I just want to see a baby flamingo explain why they have two dad's to another flamingo, sooooo bad now. Not to mention, if it's in San Diego, Dr. Suess is in our blood. We NEED the book.
I was making a sarcastic reference to And Tango Makes Three.
Please tell me it's as good as my daydream! I'm checking it out rn.
It’s everything you’ve dreamed, and banned in many school districts thanks to moms for liberty and other groups.
Great...now they're gonna crusade against the liberal zoos. There'll be super successful "patriot zoos" which are really just paid tours of factory farms where the treatment of the animals will be landed as traditional, conservative, even biblical. People will eat it up.
Its a pretty good business idea, at least in the US
This is just a rip off of the Parks and Rec episode with the gay penguins.
Republicans: NOOO LET IT DIE
