has he even held these books much less read them?

He’s obsessed with race and LGBTQ+ topics.

That picture makes me want to puke. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't care. Those parents seem like they might be 30 years old at most. When I see people that young have that many kids, it makes me cringe. I don't trust their motives. They seem like quivverfull nut jobs.
