So long as you're equal about the logic behind declaring certain things not "age appropriate".

If it's not okay for a kid to read a book where two men are married cause "They have sex" even when it's never so much as implied? Then it's not okay for them to read a book where it's much more blatant that a heterosexual couple had sex.

Ban all books where a married couple has children, because those children are produced by SEX, and that's inappropriate!!!
