As a teacher and a queer person, I think it's important that books like these exist and that kids in their early years learn about diversity and normalize it.

GayBCs: A Queer Alphabet by Rae Congdon | Goodreads

Gay BCs,” authored and illustrated by Canadian designer Rae Congdon, is marketed as a “A cheeky, progressive adult alphabet book that celebrates and illuminates LGBTQ terminology. Mombian is a lifestyle site for lesbian moms and other LGBTQ parents, offering a mix of parenting, politics, diversions, and resources. I have seen comments from other reviewers that some letters had multiple options, but we need to remember this was only going over the alphabet once. The topic of the discussion with the young children was “same sex marriage” and explaining why some kids nowadays have two moms instead of a mom and a dad.Hearthside Books in Juneau is promoting books for the holiday season, and its catalog features a book for the grand-babies: “Gay BCs”. For myself, I didn't grow up with these terms and I feel like finally people are understanding that there is nothing different about LGBTQ and the only thing wrong is the way they were and may still be treated by others. Pretty soon they’ll be saying that the Holocaust never happened…… Oh wait they already are saying that. And as far as text goes, there are a few big disappointments in here: asexual or aromantic is ignored in favour of ally as the word for the letter A (although asexual is included in the back glossary); the definition for bi in the main section and glossary says "boys and girls" and "two genders"--how much longer do we have to keep shouting that the identity bi can be and often is inclusive of non-binary people? Young people begin to develop identity-based markers and categories at 2 years old, so it’s never too early to introduce identity or diversity to young people, particularly in the structure of picture books,” she said.

Preferences will surface and then those people who prefer their own sex can figure it out for themselves! The public educational system is failing our children in so many ways these days and many parents are once again dedicating the time it takes for home school education as the early learning alternatives looks bleak. But J turns Juice into "Judgment-free" (by writing "Good Apple" on the juice box), with definition "No time for negative!for "C," the "original" word/illustration is a Chick, and the author added cracked eggshells around the chick (indicating it was just hatched) and replaced "Chick" with "Cisgender" ("Describes someone who identifies with their gender assigned at birth") -- even though Egg is a common term for a trans person (especially a trans woman) who doesn't yet realize they're trans. So many are too afraid to make their opinions known because of being branded a “fill in the blank” phobe, and bringing harm to their families through vengeful retaliation. I founded Mombian in 2005 after noting a lack of sites with current, practical news and information for LGBTQ parents, or sites that looked at other aspects of LGBTQ culture with a parent’s eye. Apparently, these lesbian mother-wanbabees prefer a Hitlerian approach to seeking stereotype children.
