    Aww, sounds like a cute play. Definitely for school age children.

    And Then Came Tango is an amazing kids book...that is awful that they cancelled the show saying it wasn't for kids, it is written with them in mind!

    You know, if I'd have known being gay wasn't this strange thing "someone else" always was, I don't think I would've spent my teen years as a closeted mess.

    I'd quote my dad's favorite phrase when it comes to stupid stuff like this, but It's a wee bit vulgar.

    Penguins are fucking disgusting. :tantrum: Can't be teaching our children that it's okay for them to be on a stage!

    The guy is saying that it teaches kids that same sex marriage is ok, when really it's illegal.

    They're penguins!!! Where does marriage enter into it?

    It also says about sex. I don't know which age group these school-age children are (preteen, I suppose), but I don't see how a play about two penguins leads to questions about gay sex. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Then they won't fit into the predetermined old school mold their parents have outlined for them!
