A judge in Virginia dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday that had sought to declare two books as obscene for children and to restrict their distribution to minors, including by booksellers and libraries.
“This isn't 200 pages of people from various gender identities, having sex and nothing else,” Trexler said. “It's an award-winning work as a literary memoir and as a graphic novel. It’s been relevant to lots of people in terms of understanding themselves and their children”
“This was simply just saying these have really sexual explicit content and it’s not appropriate for kids,” Anderson said. Anderson, who is also a state lawmaker, said Altman is considering his options following the judge's order. He said one way forward could be a ratings system for books like there are for video games and movies.
