Reading my feeds page today, I came across an article about parents attempting to ban the book It's Perfectly Normal from their middle school. They are claiming it's inappropriate for middle-schoolers. The article doesn't say why, but my suspicion is that they take issue with the book's matter-of-fact chapter on homosexuality.
It is to laugh. I bought that book for Rosa when she was nine, and its elementary-age predecessor It's So Amazing when she was six or seven. Nowadays we have discussions about things like her father's incorrigible heteronormativity or cissexism in the media or the inaccuracies of the presentation of BDSM in 50 Shades of Gray. I have to admit, I did make her wait for that last conversation until we were no longer in Target surrounded by a lot of strangers.
