Would they do the same in removing texts that depict heterosexual marriage if a parent was offended? I highly doubt it. The point is equality... not preferences, even of a majority.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HI,

We &#039;ve just took your book at the library because it was new.
My daughter, 7, started to read, and kept telling me about the mistakes in the book. I look for myself and true enough in the mind of a 7 years old, a wedding is between a man and a woman. She was expecting Jamie to have a beautiful wedding dress. The idea of Chloe worring about losing her uncle and friend after he gets married was great,and it would have had the same meaning had Bobby married a cute female. 
 What a shame that homosexuality has to be now presented to such a young audience. Maybe it is a good thing that you rein yourself when it comes to children&#039;s books.
Very disapointed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah, if you&#039;re brave enough to come out as a straight ally, then by gummy so can I! Life is short enough, if some would circumscribe love and human nature that is their prerogative in THEIR life. But all people deserve to be happy and lead a healthy life, and to deny who one is is the most basic health issue there is. Having lost friends and family members to this issue, it makes me happy that we are finally in an age where the discussion has begun. And thank goodness for Uncle Bobby&#039;s Wedding, it not only helped the ball to roll, but gave voice to a small child&#039;s perspective on what family is all about. Thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah,

I recently read Mr. Larue&#039;s letter to the patron that wanted to challenge your book. I must say that Mr. Larue did a fine job defending Uncle Bobby&#039;s Wedding. I just want to wish you and your book well. I think it&#039;s a fine story for children and wish the parents out there would open their eyes to see that there is nothing wrong with your book or gay marriage. We&#039;re in the 21st century! When will the bigotry end?

Best Wishes,
~J]]></description>
