Opposition
King & King's LGBT content - it is believed to be the first image of two men romantically kissing portrayed in a children's book - has led many social conservatives to challenge it, on both a local and a national level. These challenges have included attempts to ban the book, to prevent it being used as a teaching tool, or to restrict children's access to it by removing it from school or public library shelves or by placing it in sections which young children cannot access.
