A Sydney council has voted to ban same-sex parenting books.
Cumberland City Council, which includes the western Sydney suburbs of Auburn and Merrylands, made the decision last Wednesday.
Former mayor and current councillor Steve Christou put forward the amendment 'that council take immediate action to rid same sex parents books/materials in council's library service'.
The motion passed with six councillors for the amendment and five against.
