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.

      I mean…how many people who are anti-gay come out every week or two in politics that are actually gay and brainwashed by religion to suppress their own desires? It’s why priests are the way they are.

      That said, my comment was mostly in jest.

        How often would someone who is anti-gay being straight be reported on by the media? This narrative that most homophobes are gay is really harmful and misguided.
