VA Rep suing Barnes & Noble for selling LGBT books

It's not just about schools, folks. They're coming after private businesses.

They literally sell hentai at Barnes and Noble, and they want to go after the books with gay characters? I worked there for a couple months, and you'd be surprised how many parents were unknowingly paying for their 13-16 yo son or daughter's hentai books (thinking it was only just normal mangas). I'd just ask for their ID, and the parents would either scold their kids and ask to put it back, or they'd obliviously just go with it.

OP, the fact that this thread went no where is precisely why this country is going to shit. I'm sure if you started a thread about some small, liberal arts college in the middle of no where decided to have every one be called "they," you would get a few hundred responses, but example after example after example of Republicans violating the constitution and marching this country towards fascism.

Democracy does in fact die in darkness.

R3, so the fuck what? Now you feel that the govt should be allowed to tell book stores what to sell because you hate trans people? Jesus fucking Christ, do you idiots obsessed with hating trans even understand the First amendment or do you just think it only applies to Elon Musk getting to be a fucking douchebag all of the time and whining about being attacked?

How low have you people sunk?

I’d like to sue them for selling Bibles.

I mean I dont agree with it anyway but the title is somewhat misleading. They are suing B&N for selling those books to the schools, because they deem them obscene by minors. Not defending it but alarmists clickbait titles annoy me.

Also its 2 books, not all LGBTQ books.

Sure, R8, because they always stop at just the two books. Always.

You're literary ignoring the sentiment of "First they came for..." And of course, you will laugh off my pointing to that, because people always do that before it's too late.

"It's just two books." They've gotta start somewhere, so do what you always do: Defend the infringement on freedoms unless it's an opportunity to bitch about the left and "cancel culture."

So B&N are forcing them on schools? They’re hiding them in the books they sell to schools?

R311 FFS I didn't say I agreed with it.

R10 you seem to have read way too much into my post. Calm down. I was clarifying clickbait. I don't agree with it (at all) but the titles was misleading. If people want to get mad, have them get mad, but5 at what's actually happening.

Shut up R12/13. You’re fucking annoying.
