Sydney councilโ€™s ban on same-sex parenting books in local libraries causes uproar

Cumberland city council says ban prompted by parentsโ€™ complaints

The Independent

Here's a wonderful article about how you don't have to be a woman to be maternal. This hit me in the feels as a fem leaning non-binary person.

Our daughter wanted a mommy, so she picked one of her dads

Are women really the only people who can be maternal?

"Sydney councillor Steve Christou has moved to ban childrens' books in Cumberland council libraries talking about same-sex parenting, despite contravening Australian anti-discrimination laws. Christou claims he has widespread support of parents.

Caroline Staples, a local mum and grandmother, has a petition to prove him wrong at Equality Australia.

Call on Cumberland Council

Protect rainbow families in Western Sydney and reverse Cumberland Council's book ban!

Equality Australia

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.

Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?

Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.
