The judge cited the Supreme Court’s recent decision establishing parents’ right to opt kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons.

A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a “devout Christian” who objects to the inclusion of certain children’s books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.

    Ban books that show people wearing clothes with mixed fabrics! Its against mah religion!

    Why do fundamentalist Christians choose homosexuality specifically as their hill to die on?

    Leviticus 19:19

    “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.”

    Deuteronomy 22:11

    “You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.”

      It’s an easy out-group to identify and target.

        With the advantage that the target can’t easily opt out of it. It’s probably fairly easy to stop wearing clothes from a wool/linen mix (although avoiding cotton/polyester might be harder), so your target disappears.

      This guy is probably one of two types: a) He’s a culture warrior who gets a little thrill if he makes life a bit harder for the gays because he was told they are the enemy or b) he needs to uphold his current cultural zeitgeist because if people are allowed to do the things that make them happy then what’s stopping him from banging his hot neighbor Greg and if he can do that he’s wasted his life married to a person he’s not actually attracted to and it was all a lie. So he goes super hard on being anti-gay to stop those intrusive thoughts. Stay occupied. Don’t think about it. Hate hate hate.
