I bought this book when I saw John Oliver talk about it on his show. What an absolute joy to read. As a kid, I always felt different and like that was a bad thing. I put on a show to hide who I really was. Reading a book like this and knowing there are kids out there that will read this and be okay being different warms my heart. It may have started as a joke in some way, but this was a beautiful book that I hope parents keep reading to kids. Adults too!

Bunnies are cool. Mike Pence is boring. Love is love.

I am such a dolt. Right after I watched John Oliver, I ordered a few copies for friends from the Trevor Project website. The thing is I couldn't see the epub version on my ten year old MacBook. I sent the file to my work computer, but that also acted snitty.

I figured oh well, I'll also buy the hard copy.

I mentioned this to my fiancee, who cocked her head and asked, "Did you try to look at it on my computer?"

"Erm, no." She has a lovely new Mac with a huge screen. The book blossomed on the screen.

I finally read the tale of the little bunny who fell in love. Considering that one of our buns just passed away, I cried extra hard.

And here I am crying again. This is a very sweet story. Love should always triumph over the judgmental stinkbugs! Seriously, this is a lovely story, and the illustrations are wonderful.

I despise Pence and his hatred of LGBTQ people. I hope Marlon Bundo is well cared for and loved.
