It wasn't even a parenting book, it was a kids book helping them to understand about same sex parents. Apparently at the meeting some people said maybe it should be moved to the adults section until it was pointed out it is for kids.

Oh ok. It's still very weird. I would have thought that explaining same sex parents to children might be to prevent bullying or teasing of a classmate who has them. I can't see anything sexualised about it.

It really seems like there's a homophobic/transphobic push for censorship by religious groups spearheaded by myths that LGBTIA+ are 'groomers'.
