    You’d have to ask the OP. But some LGBT issues in schools include sexually explicit books and sexually explicit performances in public schools.

      Neither of those are LGBT+ issues, for the record. I know one or two of the stories you’re talking about, one that was a drag performance and another about a book with a same-sex relationship, but the issue with either of those had nothing to do with their connection to LGBT+ topics–at least it shouldn’t have been, but they were treated that way. They should’ve been handled just like anything else inappropriate in a school, but at large, the problem was treated as them being drag or having LGBT+ characters.

      There’s no need for legislation for this kind of thing because the same things that are inappropriate for queer people to do in schools are already inappropriate for cis/het people to do. I’m not saying that in disagreement with what you said, just pointing it out in addition.

        Neither of those are LGBT+ issues, for the record.

        One example was a book with illustrations of one dude giving another dude a blowjob, which falls squarely under G.

        Another one was a trans woman giving a lapdance to a junior high girl, which falls squarely under T.

        So, I’ll have to disagree.

          Except if you changed those situations so the acts were the same, but the people involved were all straight and cis, they’d still be a problem.

          Them being LGBT isn’t the problem. Them having NSFW content is, regardless of the specifics of that content, and the identities of the people involved.
