If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids...

by Narelda Jacobs, Karina Natt, Molly Hunt (Illustrator)

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!

Super funny and deeply unserious. I loved it.

This picture book inspired an awkward conversation with an adult vegetarian friend about what a turkey baster was lol.
