Imagine seeing a true story about penguins and deciding it's gay propoganda
And also, how has the US got itself into a position where LGBTQ+ needs to be suppressed? Gay or not, why should these homophobic politicians get to decide what the children can be exposed to without involving the parents in the decision.
Because they're probably closeted themselves, and it makes them feel things.
Seriously tho I had a teacher in high school who straight up said he'd date men if it wasn't against his religion. Guess who he voted for
Because we have such a large number of people convinced that love is "obscene" and that love and sex are for procreation only and shouldn't be talked about except to congratulate people who are making babies. But mostly because the people pushing those ideas are people have never truly loved anyone other than themselves and/or want to rape without consequence.
"Love" is fine, but it can't be gay without sex being involved, so two dads == obscene. Clearly there's no sex involved in hetero~~sexual~~ relationships in children's books, but there must be in those LGBTQ+ books. Why else would they be banned?
-Florida lawmakers, probably
By folks voting for and supporting Republicans. This is the simple, undeniable answer.
Propogaynda
Propaganda.
So, 'propagaynda'.
Like Stephen Colbert said, "reality has a well-known liberal bias.":
Man I wish I could have been there. That sounds incredible.
