(Boston, Massachusetts) Two sets of parents whose lawsuit over the use of a gay-themed book by a Lexington public school was dismissed earlier this year were in federal appeals court in Boston on Wednesday seeking to have the case reopened.

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.

King and King is aimed at elementary school children and helps teach diversity. The book, by Linda De Haan and Stern Nijland, tells the story of Prince Bertie who searches for love through a bevy of eligible princesses before falling for Prince Lee.
