Homophobes Boycott Scholastic

I think gay bigotry has reached an all time high. These crazies are boycotting an entire publisher (Scholastic Books) over one book, that doesn't have anything to do with gay people. They are boycotting because one of the four main characters happens to have lesbian parents. The book, "Love Ya Bunches" is targeted toward 9-12 year olds. Which of course makes it all the worse, we wouldn't want our children to not be bigots.

This is the product description from Amazon:

What do Katie-Rose, Yasaman, Milla, and Violet all have in common? Other than being named after flowers, practically nothing. Katie-Rose is a film director in training. Yasaman is a computer whiz. Milla is third in command of the A list. And Violet is the new girl in school. They’re fab girls, all of them, but they sure aren’t friends. And if evil queen bee Medusa— ’scuse me, Modessa—has her way, they never will be. But this is the beginning of a new school year, when anything can happen and social worlds can collide . . .

Told in Lauren Myracle’s inventive narrative style—here a fresh mix of instant messages, blog posts, screenplay, and straight narrative—Luv Ya Bunches, the first in a four-book series, is a funny, honest depiction of the shifting alliances and rivalries that shape school days, and of the lasting friendships that blossom from the skirmishes.

Where is the pro-gay message? How homophobic do you have to be to scour through all of the books your children read, paranoid about gay characters. Of course, these people see the secret gay agenda behind Scholastic Books:

Clearly, homosexual activists recognize the potential Scholastic Books has to transform the views of impressionable children.

Clearly. I agree, children are impressionable to being "nice" and recognizing everyone as "equal". We have to work together while they're young to turn them into little hate filled bigots, just like their parents.

The rest of the message lists the way you can contact Scholastic Books and harass them. I sincerely hope Scholastic doesn't back down on this one.
