No. As I said, I don’t like Gender Queer because I think it’s poorly written and self indulgent. But it has no such image. But, then, full disclosure, for the life of me I can’t find the picture of a female breast that caused people to say that “Maus” was obscene. I found frontal male nudity in Maus volume II but no female breast in either volume. |
Look, I really don't know what to tell you. You are either lying or ignorant of the images that are indeed in Gender Queer. Anyone who has read it knows exactly what the pictures are. Just stop. https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen4/21d/WY-MR-Library-Books-more/5-Gender-Queer.html |
What bookstores are not selling these books? Which governments are telling bookstores not to sell them? |
Go to the Smithsonian. Not only can you see the Greek man on kid thing but you can also see a lot of Indian hanky panky...sometiems with elephant-men. (Dear Indian God; Please forgive me for forgetting your name and typing something crass like I just did. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Larla, a Christian who doesn't want you pissed at her in case she's wrong about the religion thing) |
Amazon won’t sell “When Harry Became Sally”. |
And that is a business decision that Amazon chose to make. They aren't required to sell every book that is published. Take you money elsewhere and you can buy all the books your bigoted heart desires. |
Btw, waiting for you to acknowledge you were wrong. |
I wasn’t wrong. I think Gender Queer is a poorly written self indulgent book but the image you say is their simply isn’t. |
Can you please point me to the specific "man on kid" exhibit at the Smithsonian you are referring to? I had visited several, but haven't noticed it.. hmm... I am calling bullshit on this. I have seen plenty of naked statues and paintings, but sexual images are usually not on public display at the museums, maybe in the archives, and printed versions are available for sale. |
It's not a literary masterpiece and it's only controversial due to sexual content involving underaged, not due to some ideological or political or historical fact depiction. What is the concern exactly and the outrage if it's not available for sale in some states. Anyone really wanting to get it can still get it online. It's not like KGB will throw you into a gulag if they find you own one, lol

DP Ancient porn was definitely a thing. And not just standard adult m / f. People have written dissertations and theses about it. The Smithsonian doesn't have much by way of ancient Greek/Roman art. But see this example from the British Museum of older men and youths: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/G_1865-1118-39 Here's this on view at the Metropolitan Museum: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/256912 Indian threesome at Met: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/40101 Google Zeus and Ganymede! https://artuk.org/discover/stories/divine-homosexuality-ganymede-and-antinous-as-queer-icons-in-art Pompeii and Herculaneum have a ton of erotic/pornographic art. Even more erotica https://www.pinterest.com/tomcollins07/homoerotic-greek-vases/ https://greekreporter.com/2022/03/26/erotic-art-ancient-greece-rome/ |
I looked at these, and it's not what you described, there are no scenes involving underaged or geared towards the underaged. The "threesome" is a scene where an adult couple is engaging in a sexual act while the woman is holding what is obviously her young child. It may not even depict a real scene but may be an abstraction of a family unit. It's definitely not a threesome, lol. The other ancient depictions are mainly nudity, not really much else going on. And you mentioned Smithsonian, did you see anything there on full display depicting sexual acts with underaged catering to tourist crowds with little kids? And how is any of this an excuse to promote these books, are you really comparing this to art? Ok, then maybe the state of VA can put them into some dusty corner in a museum

Did you really look at the pictures because the very first vase depicts sex between adult men and boys. |
Are YOU really claiming books aren't works of art? |

How close are you guys to banning the Bible because there's a lot of kinky stuff in there you know
Love the new age of s** panic with you fun GOPers who are terrified of art and yet fantasize about Donnie's and Ronnie's respective schlongs in public. You people are just awesome, in every possible way. You make your mommies and daddies proud, that's for sure. |
