After Gay Marriage: What Next? CA Senator honors children's book on SSM

 

CA State Senator Mark Leno has issued a proclamation to coincide with the launch of "My Uncle's Wedding", a new book which introduces children as early as 4 to same-sex marriage (Amazon.com has the book listed under "Marriage & Divorce" and "Gay & Lesbian Parenting & Families"). Here is Leno's proclamation:

“Congratulations as we celebrate the launching of ‘My Uncle’s Wedding!’ As one of the few children’s books that address LGBT issues, it serves as a conduit by which to bolster understanding in our community. The book plays a vital role in creating a brighter future for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth and their parents. Congratulations and thank you for all you do!”

More about the book:

‘My Uncle’s Wedding’ is a 34 page children’s book aimed at children ages 4-8.

... Writer and director, Del Shores, best known for his movie Sordid Lives and work on Queer as Folk, also had great things to say about the book. “Eric Ross has written a wonderful, heartwarming and important book in today's climate -- a beautiful educational tool for children -- showing that all love is equal and good."
