	Jenny lives with Eric and Martin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jenny lives with Eric and Martin (ISBN 0-907040-22-5), originally Mette bor hos Morten og Erik, is a fl-and-white picture book by the Danish author Susanne Bösche, published in 1981 in Danish and in 1983 in English.
		This is the subject of a later discussion between Eric and Jenny.
		I wrote Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin back in 1981 because I became aware of the problems which some children face when meeting family groupings different from the ones they are familiar with, ie mum and dad, possibly mum and dad divorced, maybe a step-parent.

		The story follows Jenny's life with her two fathers, and how various family disputes are sorted out such as Jenny not wanting to go to the launderette and a quarrel between her two fathers.
		Jenny's mother seems to have a role in the family that is unlike any of the other books which deal with this subject.
		There is a relationship between Jenny and her mother and between the mother and Eric and Martin.

		Jenny's father's attempt to explain homophobia to her was simple, to the pint, and successful.
		Other messages communicated are: Daniel lives with two mothers; the importance of nutrition and growth; one's body, even those of children, are private and that it is unjust for adults to tease children because of their differences.
		So, the fact that Daniel lives with his two mothers, that no father figure is part of the family, and most importantly, that his family structure doesn't seem to pose a problem for him, his friends, his school or the driver of the bus who tells Belinda she has gotten fatter, is a genuine plus.

	Books \| Jenny, Eric, Martin . . . and me
		Her book about a girl living with her father and his gay lover fuelled the outcry that led to section 28.
		W hile researching for the book I became aware that there are a lot of children in Denmark living with a homosexual father or mother, and that there was a need for a book for these children to identify with.
		So I wrote this everyday story about Jenny living with her father - and stepfather.

	Gay and Lesbian Humanist – The Need for Gay Lessons
		It is now five years since the notorious Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 became law – largely through the influence of Christian pressure groups and their supporters in Parliament like Baroness Cox and Dame Jill Knight.
		Among the factors which had motivated its supporters was the policy statement by Ealing’s Education Committee, one of whose aims was “developing respect for and acceptance of individuals and their caring relationships (including homosexual relationships) and increasing understanding of sexuality in the context of love, personal relationships and home life...”.
		The DES was quick to point out that since Section 28 was so worded as to apply not to schools or to individual teachers but only to local authorities, it would not affect directly the teaching of gay issues in the classroom.
