The kids shown "This Book is Gay" are 8th graders - 13 to 14 years old. The author: Juno Dawson, is a British transgender woman, ex primary school teacher and "best selling Sunday Times author". The book was included in what the teacher called a “book tasting” "to give them a smattering of fiction and nonfiction to choose from on a day that we call ‘Reading Monday,’” Bonner said. “We just read and celebrate. It was not assigned reading, but it was one of the books that students could choose. It is written for teens and covers coming out, stereotypes, flirting, safer sex, and diagrams of how to do it.

@newhappythoughts1628 I defer to you. I've not seen the book, but have only copied what media say about it. I personally think parents should be able to vet, in advance, books with controversial content.
