Parents To Ask Supreme Court To Take Gay Book Case
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/02/020408supreme.htm

Two sets of parents whose lawsuit over the use of a gay-themed book by a Lexington, Mass. public school was dismissed by a federal appeals court say they will take the case to the US Supreme Court.

Last week the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston upheld the dismissal.

A teacher read the book King and King to second-graders at the Estabrook elementary school in April 2006 as part of a lesson about weddings.

Following the reading the teacher noted that same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts and some children have two mommies and others have two daddies.
