A huge loss for Portland and the LBGTQ and drag communities as a whole. RIP Darcelle, you will be missed.
Walter Cole, Portland’s legendary drag queen Darcelle and civic icon, dies at 92
A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge. The parent writes that the book should be considered indecent under Utah’s new book banning law, after seeing the other titles that have been pulled.
“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/
Don't allow anyone to gaslight you. The American Library Association (where I work, by the way) documented 1,269 demands to censor library books and resources in 2022, the HIGHEST NUMBER of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago.
We must not remain silent as a tiny minority of loudmouths attempts to police our #libraries, #schools, and public institutions. https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/.
thinking about how this actually makes the "red-pill" shit even more true to the source material
@old_baby They're being awfully dramatic when the "freedom" this country provides involves banning books and speech, and forcing people into homelessness.
