As Judd Legum reports, the superintendent of the Charlotte County, Florida, public school system, Mark Vianello, has ordered schools in the district to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries. This ban is not directed to books considered to have sexual material β€” it's a ban of any book that has a character who is LGBTQ.

#Homophobia is linked to several traits of #Psychoticism, including aggression and #antisocial behavior. We see many haters of #gays and #lesbians Some of them are driven by their religious beliefs. But some of them internalized their homophobia from their social environment. One can be indifferent or apathetic towards gays and lesbians.
