And we thought Sex for One received the most ban requests at Libraries.  As it turns out, And Tango Makes Three - based on a true story and centring on gay penguins in New York's Central Park Zoo - has had the most ban requests.

The book's authors are Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell.

Reasons given by organisations and individuals for their requests to get it removed from public shelves, include "anti-ethnic, anti-family, homosexuality, religious viewpoint, and unsuited to age group".

Even gay animals freak out parents.  You'd think they'd be able to keep it on the shelves as a documentary. 

Sex, Politics & More Sex
