They bought some books for their kids from a banned books list thinking they were "banned" for thought-control reasons, but opened one up to find an illustrated guide to using mobile phone apps to find partners for anonymous hook-ups and a guide to following through with it.
The book clearly wasn't appropriate for their young children, so they hid it away. Now we joke that they've also banned the book.
The "goal" is clear enticement to engage in illegal and dangerous activities, and your cause argues this is necessary literature for children to have access to. "This Book is Gay" was not easily banned; quite the fight was put up by the gay community and its allies to defend it, so it cannot be argued that it's just one psycho pushing it. There is no reason to presume anything gay-adjacent deserves the benefit of doubt when these are the lengths its supporters will push boundaries to.
That anybody needs mentorship in how to "accept" something they were supposedly "born" as and "always knew they were" is sophistry to begin with anyway. I didn't need to be told I was heterosexual, but nobody was given the chance to confuse me into thinking otherwise either. Gay literature (mostly boring, self-indulgent memoirs of narcissists and their sexual endeavors) is the most effective cult recruiting material imaginable since once you desensitize yourself to it, arousal becomes a positive feedback loop, driving continued engagement with it until it feels normal. Literal gay conversion. Training any other behavior works the same way-- ask any dominatrix or dog handler.
We're told we should give this sort of content to children, and for their benefit. Lmao. We give them amphetamines already.
We're also told a trans genocide is going on and the entire western world is about to experience population collapse because nobody is having kids, in addition to a male loneliness epidemic. Maybe teaching kids to engage in illegal, non-procreative sexual activity with adult strangers that strangle them to avoid legal risk/humiliation is a deranged and antisocial idea that is not in the best interests of humanity itself?
Maybe your way is...wrong?
would you need someone to tell you you were heterosexual, or would you figure it out on your own (having rarely, if ever, seen it before)?
try considering things from other people's perspective. you'll find that it opens up your mind and heart to various forms of empathy!
Your imagination has clearly gone way off the deep end here. Reading that there are gay people doesn't turn people gay. If you think it does, that says more about you, I think.
Trying to hide the existence of gay people from children leads to homophobia from the straight kids, and mental health issues from the gay kids. You are dead wrong here.
Demystify such nonsense
Except it's not, or it couldn't have continued to radicalize people to this very day.
There may be books which radicalise people. But I'm fairly sure Mein Kampf is not one of them.
Like the bible people mostly know the parts of it that fit their own agenda.
And don’t underestimate the effect it has if you are forced to read a book in school from front to back and write essays about it.
