What difference does it make that it's a children's series? If homosexuals truly are equal, then that should make them as eligible to be in a children's book as straight characters. This "Ooh, they're gay, we musn't let the kiddies see" attitude is probably one of the reasons why homophobia is still rife in today's society.
"If I had known this would have made you this happy, I would have announced it years ago."

I'm sick of this attitude in the world that says you should put some sort of reference to homosexuality in movies, books, and such, because everyone's supposed to stand up for gay rights or whatever, and if you don't, you're a homophobe.
