Heather Has Two Mommies

Summary: IMPORTANT STATEMENT ON OUR MORAL DECLINE
Review: This book and others like it are part of a widespread, insidious effort to promote homosexuality and make it acceptable to society at large. Active homosexuality has always been considered undesirable and eschewed as an unacceptable lifestyle. But now, under the guise of "diversity" and "nontraditional families", gays and lesbians are being granted special minority status and often preferential treatment re adoptions of children. The gay lobby has managed to chip away at normalcy with help from the media and liberal judges and politicians. Indeed this book and others like it are intended to indoctrinate children to a deviancy which has rightly been renounced by every society in recorded history. Naturally any reference to the obvious abnormality of perpetrating two gay daddies or two lesbian mommies on poor Heather is unexplored. Heather may indeed have "two mommies", but five will get you ten that she would prefer it otherwise.

Summary: Great book
Review: This book focuses on a subject we all need to understand. I'm not sure about sharing THAT much sexuality with an 8 year old, but this book is a good resource. Despite what other critics of this book feel about the ethics of the homosexual lifestyle; the truth is that we live in a rapidly changing world, and this book reflects and clarifies one of those changes: Tolerance for all.

Summary: Should be in color, but an important book to consider
Review: This book is quite groundbreaking, and is excellent in the way it speaks to children about the differences among families. This book even does an excellent job of explaining how Heather was brought into this world using artificial insemination. Very thoughtful, well-written - a must have in any child's collection!

Summary: Good book, wish illustrations were in color
Review: This is the ground-breaking book about a little girl who has two mommies, a lesbian couple. Ten years ago the authors had a terrible time trying to get their book published and finally put up the money themselves. I suspect perhaps this is why the illustrations are in black and white, because color is more expensive. Although very sweet and adorable, it would be nice if the illustrations were in color. But there are plenty of books that are beloved classics and have one color illustrations such as "Millions of Cats or "Make Way for Ducklings." That is the only "fault" I find with this book. The book gives children of both gay and straight parents the security of knowing that their families are all just fine the way they are. Today only 25 % of families are traditional, with a dad and mom. As more diverse families have come on the scene more books have been written about this issue so that all children can feel they have a place at the table. After all, a family is a group of people who love and support one another--two moms, two dads, a mom and dad, grandparents, an aunt or an uncle, guardians, foster families, single parents, etc. Kids need to know this, so that they can grow up feeling proud of their families and accepted by their friends. This is in no way a "subversive" book, but one that is eminently useful for children of both straight and gay parents. If children know the truth, they have less chance of being bullies toward those children of families that "appear different." Our children live in a diverse world. They need the facts so they have to tools to flourish in it. Knowing that there are such things as gay parents will not make children gay, because sexual orientation is fixed at birth. Gay parents have exactly the same percentage of gay/straight children as straight parents do, about 10 %. So rid yourself of homophobic fear and do not inject your kids with it. Read this book to your child, and help them understand the simple truths of life: that gay dads and lesbian moms have kids, that they are trustworthy, respectable, devout and loving parents,and that their kids are loved just as much as other children. I look forward to the day when all families and kids are accepted NOT on the basis of their sexual identity but for the content of their character, their courage and unconditional love. I am a straight mom.

Summary: The Truth
Review: When I was 11 years old I gave my life to the Lord. When I was 15 I fell into the homosexual lifestyle and immediately I was convicted of my sin. I read my bible every day and I know what it says. It states that homosexuality is sin. It's wrong. It was a hard thing to do when I came out of my sin, but I did it because the bible says it's wrong. I was not born gay, no one is. Homosexuality is a decision and I've decided not to be a homosexual. I do not hate the homosexual people in this world, but I do hate their sin. The bible teaches that we should not hate anyone, but only hate their sin. Now there are people out there who call themselves Christians but yet they threaten homosexuals with their lives because they're gay. THEY are the hypocrites because the bible teaches to love the sinner but hate the sin. I've also had people tell me that the bible also says "Judge not that ye be not judged." That's very true. It's God's job to do the judging, not ours. But see, God has already judged homosexuality and he says that it is wrong. So whenever I oppose it, I'm only going along with God's standards, not judging them. I do not believe any such books on homosexuality should ever be published for young children to read. The bible is God's Holy word to us and if we would read it often then He could show us just how to deal with issues like these. But not this way. None of us are born "gay" and we shouldn't pervert our children's minds with this nonsense. Read them the word of God. And read it for yourselves also. That's where the truth comes from.
