Why are southern lawmakers so hooked on sex?
Its on their minds all the time.
Any deviation fromwho they are fills their minds with sex and procreation.
Not science or DNA, or humanitity, or compassion or equality, or decency.
Just about who are putting genitals together.

(3,857 posts)Why do they constantly think about gay sex -- even more than "out" gays think about gay sex?

(1,654 posts)They always think "the other" gets more than they do. Think about it. Especially rich conservatives think practically every black person is on welfare. "Don't want MY money going to them." They think every person who is agnostic or atheist is out to convert them or their kids rather than just wanting live their own life and to be left alone. Every other religion than theirs is a cult or devil worship. They think every black person in college is an affirmative action admission and therefore taking up space that they or someone "more deserving" should get. And especially they think everybody else is having more sex than they do and that has to stop. Why even if they're just kids, they can't be allowed to think about being different than "the way God made them," not realizing that if God is real, he made them "different."

(4,552 posts)One guy was a pain in the ass with all his homophobic crap. I told him I just read an article in Psychology Today that said all homophobic people have latent tendency toward homosexuality. It was all BS. I read nothing but it shut him up. He never brought up his homophobic crap again.
My kid came home from school complaining about how everything was gay. The boys called anything they didn't like gay and he was sick of it.
So I called the principal and asked her to do her job and make it stop. She told me that it was nothing and all the boys did it. She was a BLACK lady. I probably shouldn't have but I gave up on that one. I should have went over her head.

it's called sex on the wrong brain, constant enemy of democracy. that's def a book that needs to be banned!
to strengthen democracy for good the science needs to be done to prove right handed masturbation has been making a lot of people stupid fearful and violent assholes on a large scale

(1,276 posts)My wife is a grade school teacher/ reading specialist / libriarian. Has been for forty years.
She rejoices ANYTIME a kid wanders into the library of their own volition,
doesn't matter what they are looking for; having them in the library is rarer than unicorns.
She often comes home and tells me about it.
Once again, cons are barking up the wrong tree.

(9,300 posts)Agree on the obsession with sex. It's projection.
Agree that books are not indoctrination. They're the antidote.
Want to add that almost all books are available on digital media and the internet. And by the way, this usually crosses state lines, so how does anyone ban them? Burn the internet?
