Please help me classify this book!

Posted by Jennie Andrews on February 28, 2017 at 5:54 in Classification and Cataloging

I have just added to our library a copy of Stealing from a Child: The Injustice of 'Marriage Equality' by David Van Gend ISBN: 9781925501230

I have no idea which Dewey classification number to give it! Although this is an Australian publication, I am hoping someone can help me with some suggestions - it doesn't need to be in the 200's and it isn't specifically a Christian book.

Thanks in anticipation.

    The Dewey number for Culture and institutions/Marriage and family/Intrafamily relationships is 306.87

      Thanks heaps, Ron - perfect! Mr Google was coming up with a lot of options and I couldn't decide. I did find an interesting article about how the Dewey classification has changed over the years for books on LGBTQ issues reflecting society's changing opinions.
