An author's clash with a Georgia school district over a brief mention of homosexuality in a presentation highlights the reach of conservatives' push for what what they call parents' rights.
Marc Tyler Nobleman was supposed to talk to kids about the secret co-creator of Batman, with the aim of inspiring young students in suburban Atlanta’s Forsyth County to research and write.
Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.
You are deflecting from the conversation by “what about”-ing the straights. This conversation isn’t about his son being straight. The straight kids can have a place in this conversation when people start trying to criminalize their very existence.
I’m highlighting how the son’s sexual orientation would likely not be brought up if he was straight, unless it was relevant to the story at hand.
Mentioning someone is gay just because they’re gay is focusing on their sexual orientation for no good reason, just pointing out that they’re ‘different’ and need to be acknowledge as such.
I have a lot of questions about different parts of this title that I don’t understand, but I support him.
First of all thank you for saving a click. Secondly, Marc Tyler Nobleman is not just a Batman researcher, he is a symbol. What an absolute Chad.
Would he have said the artist had a ‘straight’ son? Or is it just a son in that case?
Are your panties in a bunch?
He thinks he has a point, but he’s just making an ass of himself. Everyone else actually understands the conversation.
Lol, what?
Are yours?
Whataboutism
I don’t think you know what that means.

You misunderstand.
