It's always comical what makes them fly off the handle. If there were a Seuss book about two male Whos getting married in Whoville they bitch and moan about sanctity of marriage and boycott and the rest of it.

I just don’t like the framing of Dr Seuss as a bigot, because really it’s a label he doesn’t deserve.

Eh, I don't think this is so black & white. Bad/ Good.
