Actually, I would definitely recommend the book quoted in this picture. The Kite Runner can be found here.

I've never read this but I've seen the movie. I imagine the book being good.

Robert Buettner: Orphanage series.

Good for those who like hard sci-fi, right up until the last book.

The Kite Runner, and its companion: A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Rips your heart out.

The Kite Runner. Incredibly moving book.

Edit: forgot what an adverb was.

Lately I find it more common for people trigger-ready to say “okay thats enough” when others become ‘too gay’ as if there was some comfortable tolerance of gay exposure. And its not about tolerance so much as the world is becoming less safe again.

My biggest concern is active censorship of Pride Month by reddit boards and other ‘fake news’ mediums. Like yes two blocks away theres going to be a huge noisy event with loud obnoxious colors and that chipotle you frequent for lunch will have drunk men in too little clothing and too much makeup. Its uncomfortable to some people seeing some efeminate man with too much confidence slosh around trying to hold a debit card straight. But to me it sounds exactly like what a sports event does, or 2 am after a comedy show lets out. People are upset at being uncomfortable that gayness is being spread in guerella like ways. Its literally a bunch of people being a little louder and a little happier than usual because Theyre Celebrating!

Yeah all your favorite brands are being decorated in ‘Too Much’ rainbow for a month. The impression that gayness is being thrown in your face is there. But thats also no different from valentines day even. A perfect example of how stupid ugly hearts and the color red gets plastered over the eorld to a bunch of single people who are sick of it.

As for TV having too many gay people and gay themes represented, well tv shows usually start with a number of screen writers sitting around a table coming up with stories to entertain. If you grew up gay, you would know how many times your own sexuality was needlessly brought up by others. It was an uncomfortable talking point for your aunt or the bully though it was time to humiliate the fairy. Straights have always brought up homosexuality more than gays. What writers choose to portray on tv, though it can be biased, is really still catering to a straight majority (90% of viewers are straight). Its what the viewers want to see and talk sbout. I can’t tell you how many times growing up I DIDNT want people to bring up homosexuality but they did anyway.

So About that article...

I do know gays have always had a history of being labeled the degenerate child abuser without reason or probable cause. Campaigns and fear-based stigmas about ‘predatory gay men’. And its definitely not the gays who are pushing adding a P to the blanket of acceptance based acronyms as in LGBTP (p as in pedo). Thats a tactic used to sway public opinion and troll mainstream into believing the acronym is out of hand.

I think the book ‘The Kite Runner’ perfectly describes how awful child abuse is but from the standpoint of adult men after the fact as they articulate exactly how they feel about the past and their own futures. (Spoiler: it accurately articulates how abuse can be labeled a gay problem but gleans on proper recourse of the true problems of society and traditionalism.)
