A Missouri parent who fought for the ban of LGBTQ-themed books from school libraries is now facing a felony charge of second-degree child molestation.
Ryan Utterback, a 29-year-old father from Gladstone, Mo., is also facing a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault, and a misdemeanor charge of furnishing pornographic material or attempting to furnish to a minor in a separate case, KMBC-TV reported.
Late last year, Utterback participated in a school board meeting in which he advocated for the banning of certain books from North Kansas City school libraries.
Some of the books were deemed pornographic by the Northland Parent Association.
Among them, there were two critically acclaimed titles: All Boys Arent Blue, George M. Johnsons collection of essays about growing up Black and queer; and Fun Home, Alison Bechdels graphic novel that was adapted into the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name in 2015.

Lock him up and bring back All Boys Aren't Blue.

(9,989 posts)Scratch the surface of a puritan who sees "pornography" everywhere, and you'll find an abuser. Like clockwork.
Predators don't want young people have to real information and meaningful stories about sexuality, because it serves their purposes for kids to be ignorant, afraid, and ashamed. They're easier to control and manipulate that way.
