Florida school district instructs librarians to remove ALL books with LGBT characters

First they came for the trans and I did not speak up because I was not trans...

Nuremberg, Germany 1935. History repeats..

[quote] The Florida Department of Education has been repeatedly asked to clarify the application of "Don't Say Gay" and other laws and regulations restricting LGBTQ instruction to library books. But it has refused to do so, despite the urging of FFTRP and others.

Of course not. It would never do to clarify this shit. Just keep it vague and quietly let everybody know that no gays allowed is the law, despite all those little assurances even here on DL that this would just be a reasonable attempt to keep graphic gay sex out of the schools.

They need to get rid of the bible then.

Goodbye Harry Potter.

R5, that’s a good point—what about “coded” gay characters? We’re never expressly told in the Harry Potter books that anyone is gay, but we can read between the lines. Is that still ok? Are there going to be lawsuits over implied homoerotic content? The insanity of these people . . .

Ban everything by Walt Whitman!

No fag shit!

Why not just shut down the libraries completely! All books are so terribly threatening and degenerate. God Bless.

R8, we're on it! Can't wait til we defund public libraries like Missouri did!

Buh-bye, George!

They should ban all gop related books on Nixon, Reagan, Trump & the Bushes too.

The rising sea levels can't engulf Flori-DUH soon enough.

If we're banning all LGBT books.....should we ban Manhood by Josh Hawley?

Such a big nothing-burger. Concern trolls about gay erasure.

By the way, visit our super-centrist gay topics section!

You can thank the republicans & the trannies for this, two flavors of nazis with the same goal in mind.

r16, "trannies" didn't make this law. Homophobic and transphobic conservatives did.

Everyone seems to forget that Catholic extremists and Christian evangelicals called for the banning of Harry Potter years ago, not for LGBT content (there was none in the books at that time), but because Harry Potter “promoted the occult.” The Christian conservatards simmered down only after Rowling came out denouncing trans ideology. They love her now!
