That is one of the most amusing things I've read for a while. As ‘knowledgeable’ as you are, I can’t see how you work that one out, AOG. If only one gender is featured, the books can hardly teach lessons in distinguishing between the two sexes.

Fact: The "norm" isn't and has never been a homogeneous society of entirely heterosexual people. Human sexuality is a continuum with a great variety of orientations.
The rejection of homosexuality is driven by a single reference in the Bible in a chapter authored one of the most twisted bigots whose work was included in the compendium.
The "ideological" agenda is that which takes its lead from religion and refuses to acknowledge that homosexual relationships are part of the normal range of human behaviors.
The inability of same sex couples to have their own biological children is irrelevant to their ability to function as parents. Many opposite sex couples are just as unable to be biological parents. Moreover studies have shown that up to ten percent of children are fathered by men who are not the acknowledged partner of the mother.
As such I fully support the inclusion of the portrayal of same sex parents as part of showing children what they can expect to encounter in life. It is desperately needed to help counter the bigotry and intolerance demonstrated by some people.

//I would be more worried about confusing a child by telling them that about a talking snake, an apple and some supreme dude who made everything in 7 days. //
//the mystical fairy who dives under their pillow whilst they are sleeping to take their teeth in exchange for cash. //
No comparison. Long before adulthood, they'll have been told the truth about the tooth fairy.
