judoguy saidfrom reading the article, it's not really clear what they claim constitutes child pornography... I don't see it?
I agree though that it's good news in the sense, the book is gaining publicity.
north_runner saidIronically, the kid can then go to his nearest public library instead of the high school one, and find several sections pertaining to sex or LGBT youth interests. Or just wander around Barnes & Noble long enough to find the LGBT section.
It seems here the term "child pornography" might be being used to designate situations where these authors are describing coming-of-age experiences. The LGBT book series "My First Time" by Jack Hart details those very same experiences from a multitude of gay men, from the 1930s onwards.

I have the same notion that it's merely these coming of age experiences that are being compared to child pornograhy. If so, I find that comparison completely insane.
.... Americans, such prudes at times!.... well, most of the time
