"At Cumberland City Council in the western suburbs of Sydney, one man –
Councillor Steve Christou – persuaded the council to ban books about same-sex
parenting from the council’s libraries.
The change was short-lived. People fought back. More than 40,000 signed a
petition to lift the ban.
Only two weeks later, the Council reversed its decision, voting decisively
(13-2), following impassioned pleas by residents, and with many people
protesting on the streets."
