The point of all of this is to continue stigmatizing non-heterosexuality and transgender. If it is a banned topic, then something must be wrong with it, right? Something must be wrong with me for feeling how I feel, right?

Don't forget non-white people. Let's not forget that multiple books on banned lists have seemingly been banned solely for including characters who aren't white and speak something other than English.
