A Texas high school has allegedly banned a graphic novel honoring LGBTQ victims of the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting, due to its “extreme homosexuality.”
But just as the books were being laminated to extend their use, Waugh wrote, the principal ordered them to be packed up, as"a complaint had reached" then-superintendent Jose Parra, with someone calling out Love Is Love for “extreme homosexuality.” The book was published in 2016, in collaboration with DC Entertainment, using, with permission, characters from other publishers and franchises. It features no explicit sexual content. Over $165,000 was raised by the sale of the graphic novel, all donated to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla.
