Gay penguins in adoption shocker

While wandering through the Christmas section (yes!) in Macy's last night, I came upon these two penguins. And they reminded me of the current furore here over a lovely new children's picture book called 'And Tango Makes Three'

It features the heart-warming story of two male penguins who, after unsuccessfully trying to hatch a stone, are given a baby penguin to look after. As you might imagine, it has caused something of a ruckus in the US and appears to be up there with Harry Potter and 'Heather has two Mommies' as the topic of choice of the chattering classes.
