i want my girls to grow up understanding that it's okay to love men or women or both. for this posts purpose, i am interested in books.

any idea of books that get across this idea? so far i have read heather has 2 mommies (kind of boring) and daddy's roommate (a little homophobic as it just calls daddy's lover 'roommate' the whole time).

i'd like to see a boy meets prince or girl meets dyke and they live happily ever after or other such stories. anybody seen any?

thanks!

Sure! Try this:King and King (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1582460612/qid=1126360538/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-0007192-0528620?v=glance&s=books) while i myself am married to a man and don't consider myself queer, i want my girls to grow up understanding that it's okay to love men or women or both. for this posts purpose, i am interested in books.

Not sure if this book is on those lists but I thought it was worth mentioning separately. "An Tango Makes Three" is an awesome book and is a TRUE story about two male penguins at the New york zoo who fell in love and "adopted" a baby! Covers gay and adoption issues.

And Tango Makes Three (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0689878451/qid=1126898133/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-5592709-7426544?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)
