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.

From their statement:
"Same-sex parents are a very real part of our social world, and it is our responsibility to represent them in our books as we would any other group." 🫳🎤
@KathyReid Thanks for the heads up, I just downloaded it and read it. It is a great book, the quotes from the kids are the best!. (Sorry for any typos, I think I've got something in my eye 😂)
@KathyReid This reactionary nonsense reminds me so much of 50's/60's parents having panic attacks about their teenagers ... in the future folks will look back and laugh
@KathyReid And while you're at it, if you enjoyed the book, try to find some way to get a small pittance to the author(s) of the work to show your appreciation.
