Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.
Oh sorry, he’s deepthroating a strapon that looks like a dick, instead of deepthroating a dick itself. Funny you really think that distinction matters. These are fucking children, stop trying to force feed books with gratuitous sexual content to kids. All you’re doing is trying to minimize it, which I expected.
If I could prove to you that this book was present at Elementary schools, what would you say?
Gender Queer was never intended for children. It is aimed at adults and young adults.
The NEA recommended it on a list of books for educators and some people misinterpreted this (perhaps purposely, since it acts as really nice fuel for the fear fire) as being recommended for children.
It is not, nor was it ever, a children’s book.
Yes, context matters. If in To Kill a Mockingbird the defendant actually did it then the book would be about defending a rapist.
Buddy, it’s two lousy stinking panels. If that’s gratuitous to you then I don’t know what to tell you. Most people can see a dick shaped object for two seconds and be fine.
Ok, but it isn’t. You realize that it isn’t, right? I’m not going to entertain this hypothetical just so that you can feel like your argument holds any water. It doesn’t.
