Nope. Many students do NOT have access to
Free books. Many students don’t have parents who will take them to a library or have the technology to read digitally.
They need to be available for all students. Removing books students previously had access to is banning. Plain and simple.

You want gay porn in schools because of poor people? Come on man.

It’s not gay porn. Look up the definition of porn FFS. And who cares if a book has gay characters?

I don't care about gay characters but pretending Genderqueer doesn't contain porn is simply crazy.

Tell us again what you think the porn is. Because every time this book comes up, not a one of you has read the book and it shows.

If you need the context of the story to understand that it’s not porn, it could obviously be considered porn. (Np)

Have you actually looked that the book's illustrations? I mean really. Tell me you think this kind of comic drawing can be pornographic.

I think that the panels I’ve seen (read?) from Genderqueer absolutely constitute porn, so apparently “this kind of comic drawing” can indeed be pornographic.

If you think those drawings are erotic to any degree then yikes.

You'd lose that argument in a court of law.

Hey everyone reading this, take a look at this excerpt from Genderqueer and then you can see from the type of simplified drawings in it and the overall tone of the book how ridiculous this obsession by PP and the other book banners is.

They’re what this thread is about

I’m a DP from a few pages back who suggested you look into what is being banned in TX, FL, and even here in some local districts in VA. You’re hung up on 2 books. Go look at what some of your other book-banning buddies are trying to remove.
Can you not “do your own research”?

Typical progressive. You have an us vs them mentality. I have no "buddies" on this issue. But to my knowledge, no one is trying to ban books...meaning you can still order all the gay porn you want from Amazon or at your local bookstore.

Not a progressive. Again, please use your preferred search engine to search for lists of books being pulled off of shelves in various school districts throughout the country, but noteably Texas and Florida. You'll find LOTS of titles beyond Lawn Boy and Genderqueer, and most of them aren't being pulled due to "gay porn".
Unless you think biographies of Malala Yousafzai, Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, etc constitute "gay porn"? Or, perhaps 1984? The Color Purple? A Separate Peace? How about "Forever" by Judy Blume?

Dp- it’s seems many of the these titles are about empowered women. The previous poster seem to want to vilify librarians ( a traditionally female profession) and want to ban books focused on women’s rights, stories, and struggles. This is all rooted in misogyny.

Of course it is! One of the tenets of fascism is traditional roles only. They don’t want women voting, they don’t want White women working, they don’t want women getting educated. They want rape to what it once was - far more common, with younger victims not understanding what is happening to them and with women keeping their rapes secret for fear of shame. They certainly don’t want women having sex with other women or choosing to abstain from sex at all. And we know for damn sure they want women to have no say in what happens to their bodies - the GOP merrily overturning fifty years of settled law because they hate us as humans and only see a uterus and a vagina.

So yeah. The fascists posting on here have to keep obsessing over not pornography like it’s pornography and making sure that no one goes and talks about why they ban books women and critical thinking and gay families.

I can only assume it’s rooted in homophobia and a questioning of one’s own sexuality.

Still doesn't mean your right, no matter your title.

DP back to help you in your research with a link regarding books that the school board in York, PA wanted to ban from school libraries. This is an older link, but many of the titles are subject to repeated targeting by conservative boards and various right-wing elements.

I have personally provided so many titles that you book banning fascists have ignored. Your ignorance isn’t my issue, it’s yours.

Typical progressive response. Anyone who doesn't want kids reading gay porn is a fascist. Lol.

no one wants kids reading gay porn. Could it be.... we don't think it's gay porn?

Probably. But most progressives' judgement is so warped you're not to be trusted. Please reference "a woman is anyone who says they're a women."
