Why do they want children to be exposed to sexual material?

Placing these books in school libraries is always an active choice, someone must want the children to see the book, go out and buy the book, and place it in the school.

Someone decides what books go on the fancy display table.

I am absolutely against censorship and the illegality of information on all parts and points.

But there is a difference between “you will be arrested for writing/publishing/buying a book/digital media” and “showing porn to minors is a crime”

- marsha p. johnson repeatedly identified as a gay man and drag queen and survived into an era where the language did already exist if he chose to identify as transsexual. he explicitly stated that he was not transsexual and claimed that all transsexual people were also homosexual.

- sylvia rivera did identify as a transsexual woman (and made disparaging speeches about lesbians). she was not an ally to lesbians. lesbians and transwomen have not always been allies.

- neither of them were there when the stonewall riots began, according to marsha’s own testimony. sylvia was sleeping off a drug trip on a park bench, and by the time marsha arrived at stonewall, the riots were already in full swing.

- storme delarverie, a mixed black gender-nonconforming lesbian and drag king, may have been the one who incited the stonewall riots. she never identified as a transman despite surviving into an an era where the language was made accessible to do so. accounts differ as to who started the riots.

- stonewall was not a special haven for trans people and drag artists, it was just some bar where gay people met up. by all accounts, it wasn’t even a good bar.

- pride as a festival and parade was invented by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people. fred sergeant is one of those gay men, and he has been beaten (in recent years, as an elderly man) by trans people and their allies due to his views on medical transition. non-homosexual trans people were unheard of in this era.

Everyone say hi to my newest puppet Julius! He can be found in a library, although do not mistake them for a librarian. Library dragons and librarian dragons are not the same!! He has a book hoarding problem and unfortunately not a book reading problem. 🐉📚

When I told them I wasn’t interested in converting, those young ladies never treated me any differently and happily offered to help with household chores when they learned that my mother was recovering from surgery.

When they met my Catholic neighbor and her disabled son, they went so far out of their way to help with groceries, chores, and just to offer companionship.

Two sperate, wonderful Mormon women, missionaries, offered me friendship when I was in a dark place. They were understanding, kind, and I learned that they frequently visited and tended to drug addicts in the area. They wanted nothing in return but the opportunity to give their time to people.
