I admire the students that are setting up book clubs for banned books. They are recognizing that they are being given a list of what they should read.

This is referring to a few books that were banned from school libraries a while ago (not sure what they were doing there in the first place).

Anyway, one of the books that were banned showed males sucking each other off. That's hardly something you would be eager to show a kid unless you are a groomer. A common theme between these books in general was that they were pornographic. The fact that there was, and still is an outrage from the LGBT community till this day because of the bans is telling.

Also, do make note of the people here comparing the bans to Nazi Germany. Yeah, not showing kids gay porn is like being a Nazi, apparently. Disgusting.

Not in Germany... (it's banned outside of school too)

iirc it wasn't exactly banned in germany. Iirc the state of bavaria held the copyright and sued everyone who sold the book without their consent, while not printing any copies themselves.
