https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28
This was a big issue in the 80's in the UK, when councils like "The people's republic of south yorkshire" allowed schoolchildren access to material that portrayed gay parents as a loving/ stable environment for children. The Tory's didn't particularly like it and powered through a law banning any "promotion of homosexual lifestyles" in schools. The law was scrapped in the 1990's and now the Tory party repudiates its earlier stance.

It's funny how in reviews people are talking about all these "rainbow curriculum" books they own. I can see having one or two if you're gay, but don't make the kid study your sex life like it's a subject in school.

"The Patrician" sounds like a Steven Seagal movie.
Also, while I was making sure Seagal isn't spelled Segal I learned that his biography describes him as "somewhat boyishly handsome looking."

oh man, that last book reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me. They were waiting in line in front of the cash-register at this big convenience store, and it was the day before christmas, so basically there was a lot of people there standing quietly waiting for their turn, when this kid, about 3 or 4 suddenly remembers he wanted to ask his mother something, and speaking quite loud the boy asked his mother why on earth she had his father weener in her mouth the other day? I guess it turned out to be a merry christmas for that family.

I'm all out of lames so I just want you to know that you are my least favorite Assetbar guy
Yes! I wonder if Phillipe has any of those Insta-Lit books...
you're telling me a stuffed otter raised by stuffed bears is a non-traditional family environment?
I would say that any kind of otter being raised by any number/sort or bears is quite nontraditional
phillipe thinks that a homosexual is a kind of monkey.
and i just spit all over myself about the last book.
You can't stop the Patrician getting behind you. He is a member of the Guild of Assassins y'know.
But it shouldn't be a problem... unless he has a contract on you... or you happen to be a mime.
High five for the Discworld reference! (ran out of chubbies)
Discworld high five!
Vetinari wasn't the only Patrician, though. You need to be more specific, or people might think Snapcase was an assassin. He wasn't but he was still deadly (deadly INSANE).
snapcase was a (sucky)band.
Vetinari was the only one who truly deserved the title.
Yay, discworld :).
It took entirely too long for me to find a Discworld reference on Assetbar. Now I am happy.
