The Florida Department of Education banned a children’s book by the authors of And Tango Makes Three last year, despite the fact that it contains no mention of sexuality. As the Tallahassee Democrat reports, the state’s Education Department has released a list of 1,218 books that had been challenged during the 2022–2023 school year. Three hundred eighty-six of those books have been removed from school library shelves, including Christian, the Hugging Lion. The 32-page children’s book by And Tango Makes Three authors Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell and with illustrations by Amy June Bates is about two men who raise a baby lion together in the London apartment they share.
