Hull parent Will Taylor pulled his daughter out of Genesis Pre-School after learning of the book.
By Kevin ShoesmithA nursery has withdrawn a book about a grandad and his memories of attending Pride marches with his partner.
Trustees agreed the images were "not age appropriate". The book was marked as suitable for age four plus.Image caption,The BBC was unable to contact Genesis Pre-School for comment. However, in an email seen by the BBC, the chair of trustees apologised to Mr Taylor and his family for the distress caused.
"We have got two images in this book which are erotic and sexual in nature. I don't know what planet they're on but you do not show four-year-old children pictures of men in leather fetish gear."He said: "They did not use the word 'bigot'. But from their use of the word 'offensive' and their constant focus on the rest of the book, which was about celebration of Pride, they seemed to be heavily implying I was some kind of transphobe or homophobe.
He said: "I was surprised to see this illustration. I think the illustrator [of the book] was given carte blanche. It's a bit stereotypical. An illustration showing a family waving a trans flag, for example, may have been a better choice."Some people do attend Pride events wearing that kind of clothing but that tends to be abroad. The weather here rarely lends itself to dressing in a revealing way.
