A new picture book by Amber Dee Parker and Hannah Sequra attempts to battle messages of LGBT equality with a warm and fuzzy brand of hatred, reports Good as You.
Endorsed by the American Family Association, God Made Dad & Mom tells the story of a young boy named Michael who prays for his classmate Jimmy and his two dads to learn the truth about how God made them after a trip to the zoo where hes told all animal families consist of a male, a female, and their offspring.

Anyone still think The "American Family Association" isn't a hate group?

They're scientifically ignorant in addition to being homophobic and obnoxious.

(115,677 posts)My dog's family is 2 humans, 3 cats, 1 dog. I guess all those animals who can't or don't procreate are denied being in a "family"? Idiots.
Not going to discuss the homophobic stuff as that is too obvious. I won't watch the vid at the site either, too infuriating.

(55,145 posts)As to the video, I did watch it. I wished I had your sensibility.

Is this the secret fantasy of the AFA?

(10,745 posts)I'm sorry, but wasn't my intent obvious? No LGBT bigotry is acceptable.

Let's see, at the zoo, one sees polygamy, matriarchal societies, infanticide, nudity, public displays of lewd and lascivious conducts, and of course, bestiality! Who knew the AFA was so forward thinking.
Isn't it "neat" how hate can be made to look so cute, when it is so damn deadly?
