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.

    Funny you really think that distinction matters.

    Yes, context matters. If in To Kill a Mockingbird the defendant actually did it then the book would be about defending a rapist.

    These are fucking children, stop trying to force feed books with gratuitous sexual content to kids.

    Buddy, it’s two lousy stinking panels. If that’s gratuitous to you then I don’t know what to tell you. Most people can see a dick shaped object for two seconds and be fine.

    If I could prove to you that this book was present at Elementary schools, what would you say?

    Ok, but it isn’t. You realize that it isn’t, right? I’m not going to entertain this hypothetical just so that you can feel like your argument holds any water. It doesn’t.
