As Banned Books Week draws to a close, I've been visiting the American Library Association's website, and I noticed that two of this year's most challenged books are "And Tango Makes Three" by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, and "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Round Things" by Carolyn Mackler, citing anti-family as one of the reasons.

Scroll down to the background information, and I read there have been 202 anti-family challenges between 1990 and 2000 and 211 anti-family challenges between 2000 and now. I'm a bit confused about this, and have found nothing when I put this in a search on Yahoo! Dictionary and Wikipedia.
So, how is anti-family defined in this case?
