I agree with you but he is arguing in bad faith.

"think of the children" is just the vehicle bigotry. Notice he isn't complaining about straight hook-up apps.

You don't need a need a book to these apps.

"Notice he isn't complaining about straight hook-up apps."

Homosexuality is just really disgusting to a lot of people who don't want their children exposed to it. If you also have to remove books about Tinder so gays don't feel singled out, you can do that too.

Anecdotally one of the people protesting these books in my area is well known for being a hyper religious wife beater who is no longer allowed see his children.

The rest are a diverse un-hirable band of racists, anti vaxxers and people that fake injuries for money.

I'm not at all conservative but i can see not all conservatives are like this. This is a recent phenomenon.

I went to a gay pride rally last month. I was amazed at how physically attractive and psychologically healthy the attendees were.
