MACUNGIE, Pa. (AP) A children's book with a homosexual theme will remain on the shelves of a Lehigh County library, despite complaints about the story.
The Lower Macungie Township Library board is refusing for a second time to remove the book ``King & King,'' despite objections from one couple and 40 signatures from other residents.
Eileen Issa says she was reading the story to her 2{-year-old son when she came to the ending where the prince gets married to a man. She says when she saw the illustration of the newlywed men kissing she ``was sick.''
Library Director Kathee Rhode says the library seeks to offer a variety of views and ways of life. She says library officials want parents to decide on subject matter for their own children, but not one parent to decide for all children.
