Florida now banning books where a character might be gay

[AnthonyC]

Well, there goes every slightly older book depicting strong male friendships.

Well, Florida Department of Education is banning it.

At first read, I was thinking, wow, it’s come to where states can determine what books are purchased? I was TERRIFIED for a moment.

I was TERRIFIED for a moment.

If it helps, you should still be terrified over this.

Moving forward all children’s books in Florida must include at least one scene in which the principal characters experience mutual orgasm before declaring “boy howdy, there’s nothing better than the feeling of a penis in a vagina!”

IIRC some MAGA nitwit recently explained why having a relationship with a woman is gay and unmanly. I can’t remember who it was though.

I don’t think Steve Hughes is MAGA.

But they might turn the lion gay!

Two male lions show rare public display of affection

Frog and Toad are Banned.

Let’s not even think about Ratty and Mole

Jesus only associated with men

Jesus didn’t have a Y chromosome though.

Wait, does that mean he is trans? Is God woke for allowing him to self identify?

If I remember correctly, there are no women in Treasure Island. And you know what sailors are like.

Hey, give Mrs. Hawkins some credit. She was a single mother who also ran an Inn frequented by some very unsavory characters. Definitely no pushover.

[teknocholer]

My mistake. It still doesn’t negate the sus behaviour of a whole bunch of men setting off on a long sea voyage together. I mean, statistically speaking…

[sqlrob]

I think they’re referring to this:

'Having sex with women is gay': White nationalist incel movement is going to...

I think we might be safe with Relativity Textbooks, as long as there is no mention of Quantum Mechanics.

[socialclimber]

Yes. Some of those quarks sound mighty suspicious.

Also, came here to say “So they’ll be banning the bible then,” but I see others have already covered that issue.

Manliest book ever written.

Jesus didn’t have a Y chromosome though.

Hence “Jesus H. Christ.” The H is for haploid.

Back in a previous lifetime when I was working for a doctorate in quantum physics - lattice gauge theory, to be precise - degenerate perturbation methods came into it a lot to make the calculations doable.
Despite my best efforts, it never became a band name.

The phrase could refer to bands that make you pogo in general. Think I’ll go and make a mix tape… let’s see, Sex Pistols, Bad Brains, S.N.F.U., the Ramones…
