Censorship Note

I chose the storybook “King & King” for two specific reasons: I knew it would be controversial (it will most certainly add length to my censorship essay) and I was mildly curious to how same-sex fairy tales were constructed. I was not disappointed on both accounts as this book is as notorious as it is a game-changer for future same-sex fairy tales in the future. The book articulates the romance between two characters just as any other children’s book, expect that at the end, the prince falls for another prince, rather than a princess. The small yet enormous change caused trouble for teachers in various states as parents caused a political uprising to put an end to what their children are being taught in schools. Reports date back a few months ago suggest that parents are not alright with their children being taught about what now is a legal right for same sex relationships i.e. the right to marry. This book is one of the many steps that is aiding the vast movement in accepting a different kind of sexuality and treating it as equality.
