They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive

      If you read Project 2025 you would find that literally on Page 1 they equate pornography with “the spread of transgenderism and drag queens” and claim that all of the above are “invading their school libraries” so all further references to combating “pornography” in the text also means transgender people.

      You can read it for yourself here and I strongly advise you to do so to stay informed. The enemy has laid bare every single one of their tactics and remaining ignorant to it is irresponsible.

        You’re intentionally misrepresenting what it says, what a surprise.

        That sentence is in reference to the “pornographic” transgender-advocate book in schools that have extremely graphic pictures and descriptions about things like “sucking girl dick” and so on. It’s not equating pornography with transgenderism at all.

      Red states have already passed legislation classify any book that has any form ofnLGBT representation as obscene and not fit for school libraries. It’s the same process on a bigger scale.

            That doesn’t support your comment at all.

            Also, this:

            ​​“Once again, far left activists are pushing the book ban hoax on Floridians,” Booker said. “The better question is why do these activists continue to fight to expose children to sexually explicit materials.”

            How about just not describing how to eat someone’s arsehole in a book for 4-6 year olds? Ever thought that might be inappropriate?

              Again, please let me know what book you’re talking about, I’d love to judge it for myself.

              Rape?

              However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.

              Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man.” But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

              Incest?

              Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her. But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man. He said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Then Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

              I mean, these readings are all acceptable for children by christian standards right?

              Tell me more about how it’s LGBT books that are the issue.
