We're here and We're Queer-Banned Children's Book of the Month!!!- And Tango makes Three

Before I talk about this book (one of the few children's books I am proud to own) I have to talk about the Trevor project.


The Trevor Project is a project devoted to promoting acceptance of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Questioning youth. Most LGBTQ youth at some point end up feeling alone and rejected. Here's an unbelievable statistic, If you are Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, or Questioning teenager you are 50% more likely to commit suicide by age 20 then the average teen. I think that needs to change. Youtube is partnering up with the Trevor Project to host a video project to help stop that number and the alienation of LGBTQ youth.

Back to And Tango Makes Three.





And Tango Makes Three is about two male penguins, Roy and Silo, who live in the Central Park Zoo in New York, New York. Together they become a couple and raise a little chick named Tango. Besides being the cutest book since Winnie-the -Pooh (which it's also a banned book)
It's become a key book in teaching kids about different types of families. And breeding a more a more accepting world is something I can definitely get behind
