[edit] April 2006 discussion
Nowhere in this book does it state that the Sissy Duckling is gay. The fact that Harvey Fierstein is gay does not establish that his literary character is, too.
This is true but i believe it should be included in the category due to that many children gay or straight are harrassed in school for their perceiving sexuality, gay kids get mocked and could find solace in this work. Sissy in this book is perceived by the other charicters, just as it is perceived by other children at school. And sissy is a synonym for gay, whether or not the sissy duckling is gay or not should not preclude it from belonging the in Childrens Books on Homosexuality category since perceived sexuality is included in the larger picture.

Furthermore i have expanded the definition of the debated category to be inclusive of perceived sexuality/gender within the LGBTQIPPS plethora of issues. Please wrok with me to help achieve an agreement, especially that of cooperating with the defintion of said category. Qrc2006 01:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, that helps -- let me take a crack at your category definition. NawlinWiki 01:51, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
