Children’s picture book flagged at Alabama library because author’s last name is ‘Gay’
al.com

Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially "sexually explicit" books to be moved from the children's and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author's last name is Gay.

Sex positive educators are literally experts in age-appropriate sexual discussion.

Pretending they are not because age-appropriate discussion freaks you out is your mistake not theirs.

Experts do actually know more than you do

TRUST THE EXPERTS TO TEACH YOUR KID ANAL SEX YOU ARE JUST IGNORANT IF YOU DONT WANT THAT. I would not want my kid anywhere near "sex positive educators"

Hey guess what? Your kid is going to try anal some day. Might be nice for them to know how to do it safely, when that time comes.

And yes, there is a bevy of literature available for what age ranges such subjects are appropriate, and those guidelines are followed by trained professionals.

Hey guess what? Your kid is going to try anal some day.

You're a fucking sicko. No, kids do not need to be taught how to do anal sex by their school teachers. Can't believe i'm typing that.

Screenshotting this.

It's so telling of how you look at the world that you think I would ever feel regret about posting that comment lol

While your reaction is funny, the sad thing is that your denial of reality causes genuine harm and long-term suffering.

You are sick in the head.

I live in the real world and you do not.
