Oh it's time to get this thread locked? All you have to do is point out that Christianity has been a pedophile conspiracy since 1946 when several passages forbidding child sex and child marriage were removed from the bible. Factual and pisses off every rightie here. Easy peasy.So you'll do a "thread cleanup" but happily leave the posts alluding to LGBTQ+ people being predators. Fuck this shitty website.
You are about 1700 years late. Remember the Second Council of Nicea, which excised the entire Gospel of Mary, and removed every part of Yeshua's life from 12-30. LOTS got removed way before the KJV.Oh it's time to get this thread locked?

I posted Tango Makes Three, because the very premise that people aren't banning books for simply having anything LGBT is wrong.They are not banning books that mention LGBT.
So, you WOULD agree that 'Gender Queer', specifically and in particular, should not be made available to minors, based on its graphic depictions of underaged sex acts between consenting minors?Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

As for Gender Queer, I think they could have gotten their point across without those pictures, but I'm having a hard time finding if this was even found in middle school libraries, let alone elementary schools. Meanwhile, Utah repealed their middle and elementary ban of the Bible.
Tbh if it depicts graphic sex between minors then who the shit even published it? No one should be reading that shit. CP is fucking vile.So, you WOULD agree that 'Gender Queer', specifically and in particular, should not be made available to minors, based on its graphic depictions of underaged sex acts between consenting minors?
This is the only correct answer. Good form.Tbh if it depicts graphic sex between minors then who the shit even published it? No one should be reading that shit. CP is fucking vile.
I can't see anything depicting minors but still that's not right for children. If you wanna teach children diversity then there are better methods than this book.This is the only correct answer. Good form.
Here is the... mostly SFW edited and censored image. Tell me if you want kids to have access to this.
Actually, it won't even let me post it. All the better.
If you Google "gender queer image" and just look for the highest Reddit post, you will see it.
This link has more. Be warned. I am almost 40, and I DEFINITELY do not want any of my nieces or nephews to see this.

If any moderator takes this down, not only do I fully understand and agree with your decision, but I am forced to ask why anyone could support this book being read by children, if just a few images from it are taken down from the political section of a gaming forum.
If this isn't appropriate for Temp'ers, it is ABSOLUTELY not appropriate for children.
Look at the eighth image from the top. You can clearly see a young man doing things with his mouth to another underaged boy. IN his mouth. Granted, it's a device and not a body part. Very little distinction, in my eyes. This book is absolute trash and should never have been published, targeting children as it is.I can't see anything depicting minors but still that's not right for children.

It shouldn't have been published no. There are plenty of other LGBTQ+ books that aim to educate people of all ages that would do a better job than graphical depictions of CP. I think children should learn about LGBTQ+ people but not like that. I was 4 when I knew I was "different". I realised what that difference was when I was about 8 or 9. I grew up when there wasn't really any books about people like me and gay people on TV were few and far between. I had no outside influence to make me the way I am, I just am who I am. I wish I could've had the resources back then so I wouldn't have hated myself so much. I was a prolific self harmer and I attempted suicide on more than one occasion because I couldn't accept who I was. Books and other media designed to educate people are there to prevent more people feeling how I felt and I am 10000% for it. I have been groomed and I have been raped, but not all LGBTQ people are like that, the vast majority aren't like that. Most people calling us groomers and paedophiles have never experienced that in their life and I am thankful they havent because it's horrific. That being said, this book is trash.Look at the eighth image from the top. You can clearly see a young man doing things with his mouth to another underaged boy. IN his mouth.

At least we can agree on that.
Survivor, here, too. Father's commanding officer. He got two years, 18 suspended. Got out in 18 months, WITH AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE, went on to have kids and is now a pilot in Arizona. I know this for a reason. Just in case. I know where he goes to church. Should the day come when I have nothing to lose...It shouldn't have been published no.

I'm sorry you went through that, I know it's truly awful and if I could I would drop them all in a vat of battery acid and watch them slowly dissolve in agonising pain. Very dark and twisted perhaps but the thought makes me happy. It made it difficult to form bonds with people. I'm married now though and my husband is great, he's the one person that managed to keep me alive and help me learn to live for myself. I still have my mental health issues but I'm getting there. Copious amounts of drugs and risky sex (how I didn't catch anything I do not know) later I feel like more of a human again. All paedos should be sent to a remote island and then nuke it.Survivor, here, too. Father's commanding officer. He got two years, 18 suspended.

But that is just a happy revenge fantasy.
I understand how you feel. He took me on a plane and let me fly it. He was a father figure to me. I fully understand. I spent more time in psychiatric hospitals than he did in prison.
Every child molestor on the planet deserves to die. Better, they deserve to be trapped and restrained in a room with the family members of their victims, each of whom gets to pick their instrument of pain to use against the fucking piece of shit who would harm a kid.
You are not alone.
The most fucked up part about being a 12-year-old in a residential psychiatric hospital for over a year wasn't missing birthdays and Christmas and Thanksgiving, or being allowed to be a kid without being locked into a room at night, as punishment for being raped.I'm sorry you went through that, I know it's truly awful and if I could I would drop them all in a vat of battery acid and watch them slowly dissolve in agonising pain.

Which means that it should not be available in ANY public school, since people in high school range from 13-18, normally.Apparently, Gender Queer targeted range was always age 16 and up.
And why is it allowed in a middle school?Apparently, Gender Queer targeted range was always age 16 and up.
You could make an argument, that books meant for older people, should be sectioned off. Maybe they are, I don't know how everyone's library is setup.Which means that it should not be available in ANY public school, since people in high school range from 13-18, normally.
If this book is available in even a high school, that means kids from 13-15 would still have access to it, by your logic.
It shouldn't be. Articles that actually mention middle school, have a point, but most of them mentioned banning the book even from high schools.And why is it allowed in a middle school?
At my old elementary they put the more graphic books in the office in the library for the teachers, dont know if it was diffrent for anyone elseYou could make an argument, that books meant for older people, should be sectioned off. Maybe they are, I don't know how everyone's library is setup.
