It seems to me that there is a big gap between "books supporting LGBTQ pride" and "pornographic material".

How do you know what books they were?
What were the titles and authors?
Have you actually seen them or are you taking someone else's word for it?

I've read some of the books. I also pay for access to books on Epic. Your argument is bullshit. The books are not pornographic and contain less sex and violence than the bible.

Have you read any of the books in question? Have you browsed the available books on Epic?

Now there is a book that I wouldn’t want to expose young children to.

I don't want to have sex portrayed in books for small school children. I also don't want to them reading the bible, but your 'comparison' with the bible is a typical whataboutism. So it's just a 'fake argument'.

You can write again if you have any real arguments instead of starting personal attacks.

I accept your apology for your missing information.

Have you actually read the books? And do you realize school libraries are curated to contain age appropriate books?

Don’t want your kid reading something? Monitor what they read. And keep your morals and values contained to your family.

I don't have to read and watch LGBTQ and other porn literature to know that it is not age appropriate.

A forum is a place where different opinions and arguments can be shared between grownups.

If you don't want that, you shouldn't be visiting Internet forums, but stick to your filter bubble. Plain and simple.

How on earth do you know what is in these books? Just because they might have LGBTQ ideas does not imply they have either sex or pornographic content.

A grownup would know there’s a difference between LGBTQ books and porn. A grownup would evaluate books individually. A bigot would lump them all together and toss the baby out with the bath water.

Ironic you insisting others stay in filtered bubbles when you’re trying to impose your bubble on others.

Firstly, I personally find it rather humourous that you seem to feel that any book with an non-heterosexual theme must be pornographic.

Secondly, I feel offended by two items. One being that you seem to feel that it is okay for you to force that belief on others and the other being that you seem to believe that you know what is age appropriate without any personal knowledge.

There's a reason we have an opt-in Politics and Religion forum.

I think this thread has run its course.
