After a Louisiana lawmaker read explicit passages out loud during a Senate hearing, the author of the graphic novel 'Gender Queer' has said that it is not'recommend for kids.' Despite being the most challenged book in US schools and libraries for two years in a row, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, denied that the pro-LGBTQ comic book is meant for kids. Senator John Kennedy, 71, read aloud from Gender Queer at the hearing because it is now permitted in Illinois schools. He was making his argument in the midst of a raging Republican fight to keep inappropriate subject matter out of the reach of young children in public schools and libraries.
