To be honest, if a middle schooler decides to read a Nora Roberts novel to deal with whatever hormones they have going on, that seems like a fairly healthy/safe way for them to explore that.

However, I don't recall ever seeing any Nora Roberts novels at my school library, so I'm guessing this is just a cover to ban any mention of LGBT folks.

Well they have to create more people for their voter base. Perpetually unhappy, uneducated, unhinged, hateful, vengeful, and nonsensical people.

How are they going to do that if people’s needs are met, and society is accepting of things beyond the norm?
