Whew boy, do I ever regret taking on this story after reading the Daily Wire article. James Talarico already gives off creepy, unsettling vibes before he even opens his mouth. Ick. Then he starts talking, and it gets worse. Ickier. And now somehow, the people handing kids books about oral sex and gender ideology still think they occupy the moral high ground while calling themselves brave and enlightened.
Americans already pushed back on this during the Biden years. Parents flooded school-board meetings and library-board meetings over sexually explicit books sitting around children. Voters made it crystal clear they were exhausted by activists injecting gender ideology into public life, especially around kids. Trump’s return to office only reinforced that backlash.
So why are James Talarico and his activist buddies still acting like America just needs another lecture? Another slogan? Another stack of books about oral sex sitting around children?
Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with “banned books” that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.
Books found in the St. Andrew’s catalog include the book “Gender Queer,” which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” which discusses anal rape and incest. – Daily Wire
Pastor Pronouns and his activist buddies still cannot understand why normal people recoil from this stuff.
James Talarico is so disturbing to me that he feels like he freshly stepped off the set of some dystopian creep-show where everybody smiles calmly while society slowly loses its grip on normal boundaries around children.
The more I read about Talarico’s church and the material pushed around children there, the more this stopped feeling like one creepy politician story and started feeling like a much larger cultural sickness that refuses to die. These people heard the backlash loud and clear. They watched parents revolt while normal Americans recoiled from sexually explicit material aimed at kids and the endless obsession with gender identity involving minors, and they still kept pushing anyway. The fact of the matter is this: they do not care because this ideology stopped being political a long time ago. For these people, it became a religion.
That is why James Talarico can talk about “trans children,” say “God is nonbinary,” and belong to a church handing kids sexually explicit material while still acting like he occupies the moral high ground. This crowd now treats affirmation like the only thing that matters. Boundaries do not matter. Parents do not matter. Normal discomfort gets dismissed as ignorance instead of basic common sense.
Who daydreams about trans kids?

If hearing about children having access to books discussing oral sex, incest, anal rape, and explicit gender ideology does not make your stomach turn a little, then modern activism has probably broken your normal instincts. Most adults hear that and immediately think, “Why are grown people so obsessed with dragging children into sexual politics?” Why are they so determined to pull kids into deeply adult conversations?
At some point, people need to stop pretending this is merely about “inclusion.” Large parts of modern activism have become disturbingly comfortable in sexualizing children. I feel like a broken record saying it after years of watching the same patterns repeat themselves over and over again.
What makes figures like James Talarico especially irritating is the smugness that comes with all of this. Progressive activists still carry themselves like enlightened teachers gently correcting ignorant parents, as though Americans simply need another seminar, another slogan, another children’s book, or another lecture about affirmation before finally surrendering and applauding.
Americans already feel squeezed from every direction culturally. One side tears down borders, traditions, and national identity while the other side keeps trying to dismantle basic boundaries around children, sex, and family. Ordinary people are exhausted because everywhere they turn, somebody inside an institution seems determined to tell them their instincts, values, and common sense are somehow the real problem.
Activists cannot quit this stuff now because too much of their identity depends on it. Too many schools, libraries, media outlets, nonprofits, and political careers spent years treating gender ideology like the highest moral cause on earth. Admitting they pushed things too far around children would destroy the moral superiority they built their entire movement around, so instead they keep doubling down while pretending everybody else is crazy.
James Talarico is not some isolated oddball floating around the political fringe. He represents a larger activist culture that still believes children should sit at the center of modern identity politics whether parents like it or not. That is exactly why this Senate race matters more than Democrats probably want to admit.
Most normal people still believe kids deserve innocence, boundaries, and protection from adult ideological obsessions. That is not extremism. That is normal. And if Texans truly are exhausted by this activist nonsense surrounding children, then Ken Paxton needs to win this race.

Cameron says: And once again, the left tries to change the definition of a word. In this case, it’s the word “Banned.” The books aren’t banned as evidenced by the fact that these groomers can get their hands on them.
