Cumberland City Council faced global backlash for banning the book, Same-Sex Parenting, suitable for children aged five to seven.
The Mayor of Inner West Sydney branded the ban as 'pathetic.' The council voted 12-2 to move the book to junior non-fiction section after hours-long debate and protests.
Over 200 people rallied outside the council building, with Pride in Protest and NSW Young Greens leading a demonstration against the book ban.
The banned book, addressing step-parenting and bullying, led to a heated debate and clashes outside the council chambers, ultimately resulting in the ban reversal.
