Leave it to Texas republicans to ban books. Free speech is circumstantial, apparently.

[BackAgain]

Why does the sexuality of the characters in these books need to be mentioned/inferred at all? If these are books intended for anyone below the teen/young adult reading level there doesn’t need to be any discussion or inference about such things.

I can see why folks might be concerned about such things.

I don’t much care. But I am curious. Why did J.K. Rowling find it necessary to claim that Dumbledore was gay? Did it contribute to the story?

I honestly have no idea. I didn’t read the Harry Potter books or see the movies. Not my thing.

 

[PinktheFloyd88]

Yes, we are the arbitrators of what kind of shit you’re trying to sell our kids on our tax payer fucking dime. Fuck this “artist” and every one of you pearl clutching over it.

You need to Google pearl clutching, pearl clutcher

 

[bripat9643]

We aren’t. We simply just don’t care they are there.

If you don't care, then what's the reason for the lawsuit?

Well Patty I haven’t sued anyone so I have no idea what you’re talking about.

You need to fuck off. You also need to learn when to STFU and take a seat. The retaliation to you fucking queers is just beginning.

When are you faggots and faggot enablers going to realize you’re still less than 1% of the population? When are you going to suddenly understand 99% of us were willing to let you live your lives but now you insist we put up with your bullshit and aren’t going to fucking do it?

There’s nothing impressive about you fucking freaks. There’s certainly nothing about you we need to be the basis of our society. You’re a detriment to it.

We spent decades dealing with your bullshit and trying to just let you live your lives without getting your asses kicked. But now you think you can tell us how we have to treat you and you’re going to teach our kids with this shit. That’s not going to happen. It’s over. Go fuck yourselves.

It must bother you just a tad you never emotionally matured past the 8th grade.

I pretty much never felt the need to suck a dick in the 8th grade. Apparently you did and are on a mission to make sure young kids across the country do to make yourself feel less like a freak.

That’s your problem not ours.

I’m straight. I’m just not a complete drama queen bitch like you are lol

So republicans are concerned books are “pornographic” if they have gay characters in it. There doesn’t have to be sex or nudity in these books of course. They are simply pornographic for having gay characters lol. Republicans have the emotional maturity of 8th graders. This is ironic, of course, because they are pretending to they want to protect kids of such an age.

Think about this critically, republicans. Let’s say a kid’s book has a gay character in it who is fully clothed through out and a child read it. Do you really think with any rationality that this would turn the kid gay?

Conservatives are removing 'pornographic' books from schools. Many feature LGBTQ+ characters.

Conservative politicians and activists have successfully removed more than 1,000 unique book titles from schools, often arguing they're too obscene.

So, sexually grooming, brainwashing, and exploiting children is your idea of “free speech”, is it?

Why am I not surprised?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

No more or less than other species.

Prime example of homos having mental problems.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

My bachelors is in psychology so I know that’s bullshit. Homosexuality hasn’t been in the DSM for decades therefore it isn’t abnormal. Of course you putting “abnormal” in all caps tells me you don’t quite understand the context of the word in this case.

oh it's definitely abnormal the APA simply decided not to list it any longer because it stigmatizes gays.

So they are not really banning books since anyone can get those very same books outside of a school.

Why is it you people think the only place people can get books is from a government school?

Oh wait we have "free speech" in school?

You sure about that?

 

[justoffal]

If you need any extra incentive to stay out let me know. I'll lock and load.

His happy detachment statement was an unnecessary addition to the conversation. That is known as a tell. Just ask him he's got the degree in psych... Now being unecessary and thrown into the mix anyway means he's hiding something behind the equivalent of a nervous laugh. Pedophilia maybe?

His overstatement means he is displeased that young, fresh ass is being removed from the dinner plate. You are absolutely correct about the fact that people can get books from anywhere....he knows that too. So his outrage at the fact that children are being protected in school provides an interesting look into his persona.

Yeah.... excellent point. No we do not.

 

[JoeB131]

If you weren’t trying to promote the faggot lifestyle why would the reader need to know the character was gay? Could be just a story about any fully clothed kid right?

The question is, why do you think that the mere acknowledgement of gay people "promotes" the gay lifestyle?
