The publisher of a new children’s book featuring a man in bondage gear and a woman with trans ‘top surgery’ scars has branded parents voicing objection as ‘homophobes’
‘Grandad’s Pride’ is the creation of Waterstones children’s book winning author and illustrator Harry Woodgate – who uses they/them pronouns – and is published by Andersen Press, who told MailOnline they stand by the product.
The children’s tome promises ‘to celebrate the power of community and the importance of LGBTQIA+ history’ and is highly regarded in some circles – even winning the Waterstones’ coveted children’s book prize.
However a slew of parents have taken to social media to complain about the book’s subliminal messaging claiming it is recommending sexual fetishes and body modifications too early.
It comes amid growing concern over the sexualisation of children, with parents protesting outside Drag Queen shows for youngsters, demanding access to lesson plans on gender being taught in the classrooms, and a theatre show that normalised sex to children as young as five.
