Jenny Lives With Eric and Martin

Written by Suzanne Bösche in 1981 and published in English in 1983 by the Gay Men's Press, Jenny Lives With Eric and Martin became the centre of the debate that lead to the passing of the Thatcher government’s Section 28 legislation banning the discussion of homosexuality in school education. Perhaps the first English-language children's book to discuss homosexuality, the book describes, in text and photos, a few days in the life of a five-year-old named Jenny, her father, Martin, and his boyfriend Eric.
