If queers weren’t meant to have kids, why do lesbians nest

after one week? Why are hot gays called daddy? Why are drag

queens so maternal? This stunning, fully illustrated adult

picture book is a celebration of the beauty of rainbow families.


If Queers Weren’t Meant to Have Kids ... is both a satirical picture

book for adults and a love letter to rainbow families. In this age of

growing censorship and manufactured moral panics, this book

cheekily pokes fun at the conservative cultural warriors by asking

questions such as: if queers weren’t meant to have kids, why do

lesbians nest after one week? Why are hot gays called daddy?

Why are drag queens so maternal?


Written by renowned Indigenous journalist Narelda Jacobs and

her communications specialist wife Karina Natt, and illustrated

by award-winning First Nations artist Molly Hunt, this beautiful

picture book is a loud and proud celebration of chosen family,

guncles, the gaybourhood and more. If Queers Weren’t Meant

to Have Kids ... is the perfect gift for everyone: those who see

themselves and their values reflected in its pages; and, especially,

those who don’t!
