"Excuse me for not wanting middle schoolers taught how to use gay hookup apps."

Just the gay ones?

I don't want kids using either hookup or dating apps. But the UI's are are very simple so I don't see why removing a book from a library would prevent this?

You can google app tutorials if "swipe left, swipe right" is too complicated for you.

No one was teaching this. It was a book in a library.

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 use to these apps and I have strong doubts children are queuing at libraries to read them.

"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.

yeah, im just adding some additional info for any impressionable future reads who may take his statement at face value :)
