| Summary: |
"Meet Marlon Bundo, a lonely bunny who lives with his Grampa, Mike Pence - the Vice President of the United States. But on this Very Special Day, Marlon's life is about to change forever... With its message of tolerance and advocacy, this charming children's book explores issues of same-sex marriage and democracy. Sweet, funny, and beautifully illustrated, this book is dedicated to every bunny who has ever felt different"--Amazon.com. "Yes, [John] Oliver’s team crafted a gay love story for children featuring Pence’s pet rabbit in order to get under the VP’s skin, given the politician’s history of promoting anti-LGBT policies. Pence, of course, has railed against gay marriage; has opposed allowing gays in the military; and, as governor of Indiana, signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBT people on religious grounds. He once argued on his 2000 campaign website in favor of diverting federal funds to prevent HIV/AIDS from 'organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus' to 'those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior'—read to mean gay conversion therapy."
