Brentwood library pulls book off shelves after father claims it promotes homosexuality

BRENTWOOD, Mo. (KMOV) -- The Brentwood Public Library has pulled a controversial book from its shelves while it decides whether to permanently remove it from the library.

The book is called Uncle Bobby’s Wedding and tells the story of two male guinea pigs who get married.

A Brentwood father recently complained about the book after his daughter brought it home from the library.
Brentwood Library Director Vicki Woods said the father complained the book promoted homosexuality to children and asked that it be permanently removed from the library.
