    Honestly what do these people think happens to someone who reads a book? Reading books seems like the least threatening way to get information, I mean you can stop reading the book at any time you feel like.

      They’re afraid kids will pick up the idea that some people being LGBTQ is just a normal part of life.

    I mean, I’m just saying… if I was a kid again, with kid motivations… I’d be making constant anonymous complaints about ‘obscene’ LGBT books to get out of a few minutes of classwork.
