Teen sex comedy: I'm thinking of movies like "American Pie" and "Porky's". I'm not a fan of the genre, so I can't list how much bare skin we see in each movie, or which ones have the most raunchy sex jokes, but a common theme is high school boys trying (and sometimes succeeding) to lose their virginity. Since these were released nationally, I had assumed they showed up in Florida theatres as well.
According to the all-knowing Wikipedia: The book begins with the boys' arrival on the island after their plane has been shot down during what seems to be part of a nuclear World War III.[11] Some of the marooned characters are ordinary students, while others arrive as a musical choir under an established leader. With the exception of Sam, Eric, and the choirboys, they appear never to have encountered each other before. The book portrays their descent into savagery; left to themselves on a paradisiacal island, far from modern civilisation, the well-educated boys regress to a primitive state.True. But for most only one class and no off planet field trips or the like. Other differences are the English schoolboys could expect help and could try to improve their situation by a signal fire. In Tunnel there were 4 schools involved so for everyone involved 3/4 of the people were strangers. (Note that in many languages the root word for stranger and enemy is the same). Also, in Tunnel there were both sexes, not sure if the women should count as a stabilizing influence or cause for additional conflict.
Do you remember if the school in LotF was a boarding school and just what subset of the boys was on the plane?
Evidently true, unless you are a teacher - then people will defend your actions.Do you realize depicting, even through cartoons, sex acts involving a minor in the state of Florida, and under Federal law, is a felony and gets you on the sex offenders registry?
I don't view this as an issue of "my tribe"... I go to church with gay and trans people. I have no problem accepting gay and trans people.
Huh?DeSantis isn't banning books.
He's giving the tyranny TO the minority. Some random unbalanced parent can complain about any book for any reason and then suddenly POOF a teacher has extra stress and unnecessary inconvinience. So it's MUCH easier for teachers to just remove books.
Gotta love the small government folks. Yeah. The small government folks who want to protect children from IDEAS.
Do you believe that their alternative sexual lifestyle is accepted by God?
So
In April 2019, a group called The Florida Citizens Alliance pushed for legislation in Florida to ban approximately 90 books including Lord of The Flies, but were rebuffed by lawmakers who upheld the first amendment. According to the American Library Association, Lord of the Flies is the eighth-most frequently banned and challenged book in the nation.
I don't think protecting kids from ideas is the ultimate goal. I'm thinking the end goal is to lessen the number of kids who learn to think for themselves.DeSantis isn't banning books.

This can't be true because Desantis has said they did not ban books about Roberto Clemente!You have to be unhinged to want to ban some/many of the books on this list.
To be clear, this is ONE country in Florida:
These 176 Books Were Banned in Duval County, Florida
I support the policies of the church, which is to be an open and welcoming progressive Christian community.
I'm not used to thinking of LGBT persons as defined by an "alternative sexual lifestyle".
Depicting body fluids, erections, and masturbation in a graphic novel is obscenity. Especially one aimed at minors.
Do you realize depicting, even through cartoons, sex acts involving a minor in the state of Florida, and under Federal law, is a felony and gets you on the sex offenders registry?
Indeed....
From the Wikipedia of Gender Queer...
In one commonly cited panel, a 14-year-old Kobabe fantasizes about a scene in which an older man touches the penis of a youth. The illustration is based on a piece of painted ancient Greek pottery depicting a "courting scene."[22][2] Detractors have described this as a depiction of pedophilia.[23][24
So it seems like Gender Queer definitely fits the definition of CP according to Florida. Perhaps if the author were to ever set foot in Florida, they would find themselves arrested.
Regardless, I don't think people understand the scope of the problem...
You see, for almost a year now, left wing publications like CNN, NYT, HuffPo, WaPo, and the like have covered stories about parents trying to ban this stuff from school libraries, and at least in one case, defunded a public library that refused to remove the offensive content...
These supposed news outlets have painted the story as one of "intolerant Christians" fabricating a "moral panic" because they hate the gays.
Lets try that again, FireDragon75, as i didnt ask you what your "church" thinks, says, does.
Ok?
I asked you.
Now, one more time...
I want you to think of it like this..
God is listening to your answer.
Keep that in mind..
Now, again....I'm asking you if you believe that God accepts alternative Bexual Behavior // Lifestyle.
And i'll dial that in for you..
Homosexual SEX : Same GENDER SEX : male or female.... Man with Man, or Woman with Woman = Does God accept this sexuality. ?
Now, again....I'm asking you if you believe that God accepts alternative Bexual Behavior // Lifestyle.
I've now checked out two of the other books on Florida's banned list from my local public library: This Book Is Gay, and Flamer. (I don't plan to check out Let's Talk About It, as that one sounds less interesting.)
This Book Is Gay is a sex education book, written for gay people, whose sexuality is often overlooked in sex education classes.
This book is gay creates bait for pedophiles.
1. It encourages all children, not just gay ones, to try out various gay sex acts because "it feels good" for hetero people too.
2. It encourages multiple partners, even anonymously.
3. Instructs the reader on how to download gay sex apps onto their phone and meet up with partners online.
That is, of course, in addition to the multiple graphic information it provides in how to have all sorts of non-vaginal intercourse.
It's literally a book for creating victims of pedophilia.
Now, anyone who doesn't believe me can find on YouTube a horrified mother who exposes this book by literally going through it page by page. I suggest anyone who doubts my depiction of the book to find the video and give it a watch.
I don't think this is the appropriate forum to answer that personal question, as the sitewide rules prevent me from discussing that topic.
As a reminder, the News & Current Events forum does not permit a discussion of the morality of same-sex relationships:
That's really bad, and could get kids into alot of trouble and/or physical danger. Encouraging kids to have anonymous sex and hookups are examples of behavior that is rife for exploitation and emotional harm (particularly for girls and young women), and this book should be thrown out of public school libraries for that reason alone.
Besides the inherent problem with the over-sexualization of minors, there are alot of real threats to kids out there from adult predators, and occasionally those types of people to try to infiltrate LGBT spaces and apps, looking to prey upon a vulnerable population who are often naive and desperate for approval.
