Dr. Seuss might not have been on the right side of race when it came to his childrens books—just look at the six that will no longer be published—but he wasn’t much better with the gay community. And while those books will no longer bu published, there’s been only silence from the Seuss Foundation on these six problematic gay titles. How many are you familiar with?

On a walk through his neighborhood, he notices a new house and neighbor: Mr. and Mrs. Hetereux, come to de-gay the choice real estate. Though Horton and his friends valiantly battle to save their neighborhood, they are eventually forced to leave Gayville, retreating to a small island off the coats of Long Island.Â
