The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday for a "don't say gay" case.

Amanda Marcotte : Is it possible to "respect" someone while trying to erase their existence? She says the case illustrates the futility at the heart of the MAGA movement: They will never manifest their dream of a past "great" America , when "queer" wasn't a thing.

Marcotte says blocking books from classrooms won't hide the existence of queerness from kids.

Becket lawyers claim the book invites kids to look for images of things they might find at a pride parade.

But the book itself is entirely innocent, which readers can verify by watching this 3-minute video of a woman reading it.

One thing censorship of queer books does accomplish is signaling to LGBTQ kids that there's something shameful about who they are.
