A new children’s book featuring a same-sex wedding between two male guinea pigs looks certain to spark a furore.

Uncle Bobby’s Wedding tells the story of a young guinea pig named Chloe, who fears her favourite uncle won’t have time for her after he marries his boyfriend, Jamie.

Author and illustrator Sarah Brannen said she deliberately wrote the book in a mellow tone. “I felt that I wanted to handle the story very delicately, because I really wanted this to be as accessible to as many people as possible.

I mean, yes, there are two men getting married, but apart from that, I didn’t want to put anything in that might bother someone,” Brannen told AfterEllen.com
