''Daddy's Roommate'' is a children's book written by Michael Willhoite and published by Alyson Books in 1991 (ISBN 1555831184). The book, about a young boy whose divorced father now lives with his life partner, deals with the subject of homosexual parents. ''Daddy's Roommate'' was one of the first children's books to portray homosexuality in a positive light; the two men in the book do the same things heterosexual couples do: Take care of the house, argue, and spend time with their boy. Consequently, the book has become one of the most challenged books in recent years with the American Library Association listing it at number 2 in their list of the 100 most challenged books from 1990-1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=100 most frequently challenged books: 1990–1999 )〕 ''Daddy's Roommate'' became a point of discussion in the 2008 US Presidential Election when it was alleged that, in 1995, Sarah Palin, then a councilwoman in Wasilla, Alaska, complained that the book did not belong in the public library. ==See also== *''Heather Has Two Mommies'', by Lesléa Newman, portrays a lesbian couple in a similar fashion * Homosexuality in children's literature 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daddy's Roommate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
