Absolutely. And complaining about so-called sexual content in books is often a transparent excuse, a proxy for getting rid of LGBTQ content.

Nothing could make that more clear than the fact that the book-banning group Moms for Liberty targets the Heartstopper graphic novels for banning.

The graphic novels, from which the hit Netflix series was derived, are famously non-sexual. They feature two boys in the UK who fall in love in high school. They go on dates with their friends. They go to dances. They visit Paris with their school.

Occasionally they hold hands or kiss.

They don't even talk about sex, except in euphemisms because they're too shy to say the word, telling each other they aren't ready for it yet.

I live near Jamestown, Michigan — whose residents infamously de-funded the municipal library, complaining that librarians were providing porn to young people.

At the top of the list of books they took issue with were the Heartstopper graphic novels.

Facepalm.
