This is referring to a few books that were banned from school libraries a while ago (not sure what they were doing there in the first place).
Anyway, one of the books that were banned showed males sucking each other off. That’s hardly something you would be eager to show a kid unless you are a groomer. A common theme between these books in general was that they were pornographic. The fact that there was, and still is an outrage from the LGBT community till this day because of the bans is telling.
Also, do make note of the people here comparing the bans to Nazi Germany. Yeah, not showing kids gay porn is like being a Nazi, apparently. Disgusting.
Ok so I looked it up and ended up skimming through the entire book - I wasn’t planning to, but I got carried away because it’s really good! Anyway, I’m not sure if I found what you were talking about. I thought maybe it was the scene on page 168, but that wasn’t two males (one was cis female and the other was non binary and AFAB), and it wasn’t both sucking each other off, it was one character wearing a strap-on over clothes and the other giving a blow job. Was there a different scene that I glossed over somewhere?
A 168 page book with depictions of blow jobs? Was this even in any schools or was it just banned to cause a fuss?
Edit: mods removed the comment? Why? I don’t think the guy was wrong to be concerned about sexual content in books for children and I would have liked my question answered.
What matters is the depiction of one male giving fellatio to another male.
Which doesn’t exist in the work you are talking about. The one performing fellatio is a girl, and the one receiving it was born female and identifies as non binary - they are wearing a strap on.

Gender Queer.

I’m not arguing anything, just wanted to know if that was the scene you were talking about. Thanks for clearing it up.

Alright but this is an age rating issue, not a banning issue.
oh no! not a sex scene! our kids might think sex is normal! the horror!
For reference, one of the books was called Gender Queer.
I’m not sure if that’s the one with the gay blow job though.That’s the gay blow job book.
