Circuit Court Rules LGBTQ ‘Gender Queer’ Book Intended To Groom Children Is Too ‘Obscene’ To Be Viewed By Minors

On Wednesday, the Circuit Court for the City of Virginia Beach deemed two novels to be “obscene for unrestricted viewing by minors,” including the widely controversial graphic novel “Gender Queer, A Memoir.”

Virginia Republican congressional candidate Tommy Altman brought his concerns regarding these “obscene” materials, which have been distributed amongst grade school libraries across the state, to the court, petitioning for parents to have the right to make decisions on whether their children have access to materials containing sexual content.

 

“Gender Queer,” written by Maia Kobabe, has gained widespread criticism across the country for depicting in the comic-style book scenes of teens engaging in sexual acts.
