It doesn't make much sense to ban something like this but there are the dumbest reasons that dumb people ban books.Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-212851816241407901.post-70238535635504388552010-09-27T21:08:53.563-04:002010-09-27T21:08:53.563-04:00C.B.,

I also read Tango as an adult so compared to the other books I have less warm fuzzy childlike feelings for it.<br /><br />Ty,<br />I'm glad to hear that! I'll be making a post on the 2nd about other Banned Books that I've covered previously, so be prepared to put those on your list as well.Amy L.

While I liked it, I thought it was primarily written for adults, not for kids. I suspect the same is true with Tango. Kids picture books are still in the preaching stage when it comes to LGBT issues. I think we've several years to go before the LGBT aspect is taken for granted the way it's starting to become in YA lit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-212851816241407901.post-26948946951825073902010-09-27T14:05:03.923-04:002010-09-27T14:05:03.923-04:00It's interesting that there's not more upr...It's interesting that there's not more uproar about visual violence, homosexuality, etc. It's much easier for a 12 year old to access something like Will and Grace than it is to disseminate any homosexual themes in classic novels, yet I see very little uproar about it. I don't see parents going out and canceling cable connections. It's as if once it gets into the realm of the visual it's all of a sudden "okay".<br /><br />I think I might respect book banners a little more if they were more aggressive with depictions of gratuitous visual violence and sex. But nope, boobs and guts everywhere.Amy L.
