An image of a family with two moms, a grandma, a baby, a young child, and dog- all characters from the picture book Pride Puppy- stand in front of the US Supreme Court. Text reads, Statement on Mahmoud v. Taylor, by Robin Stevenson and Julie McLaughlin

Pride Puppy illustrator @whatwouldjuliedraw.bsky.social and I wrote a statement on today's SCOTUS decision in the Mahmoud v Taylor case. Here it is.

The authors and illustrators involved in the Mahmoud v Taylor case released this statement in today's devastating ruling. Grateful to @penamerica.bsky.social for all their support and for sharing this on our behalf.

A lot of kids need books. A lot of those kids sign their emails to authors “some random kid.”
Maybe before you ban books, you should talk to the kids about how they feel. That’s what protecting kids would look like. Not taking away books that help them feel seen while you ignore them. 👍🏻

this is jaunty little Mr. Pants, who makes a cameo on the Pride Puppy parade float!

I don't think I will ever get over the absurdity of this.

Lucy the hound with pride flags

The Supreme Court is on the brink of effectively banning the book Pride Puppy from public schools but IT CAN’T BAN MY PRIDE PUPPY🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The author of PRIDE PUPPY (the book Neil Gorsuch horribly mangled/misrepresented during the Mahmoud argument) wants LAWLESS to be widely read!

So ... you can go to your local bookstore today & get a copy! Or support independent bookstores (discount code STRICT24): bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

The illustrator of Pride Puppy agrees!! I can’t wait to read it!

He’s gonna keep on preaching
At the white smoke of hope
He’s gonna keep on preaching
Down on Vatican row🎶

After oral argument, Republican lawmakers, conservative media outlets, and right-wing activist groups held up this exchange as more damning evidence of the prevalence of insidious pro-gay propaganda in America's godless schools. Other voices in the conservative media ecosystem had been preparing for this moment for months: During a podcast in January, former Trump Justice Department flack Sarah Isgur explained that she would not want her child reading Pride Puppy, not "necessarily" because of its LGBTQ content, she said, but because of the "really graphic sex stuff." Isgur went on to cite "L is for leather" and "C is for clamps" as examples of the "way overly sexual content" she would not tolerate in her home.

Also: Since she left the Trump DOJ and rebranded as a legal pundit, a reasonable number of people in academia and Supreme Court media have taken to treating Sarah Isgur as a serious person, and I am imploring you to cut that shit out ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...

They could almost make their own ABC book with all the new words they’ve come up with 🥴

😂 also yes, Bob Onder who talked about “nude men in leather chaps” in his other video about all our books! P for panties, oook bud.

😂😂🙌

This thread is what comes from not pushing back on bigots when they say they don't want porn in libraries. There is no porn! It's all made up! Journalists need to force the issue rather than both sidesing it.
