55. They are not sticking up for trash
They are fighting against censorship. They got the big picture in mind. This author nor her work are the subject of this fight--just the catalysts.

We had the same kind of nutters due west of Humble a few years ago in puckertight Shenandoah, Texas, where we put fig leaves on reproductions of The David because that penis really shouldn't be there for everyone to see. Our nutters wanted to remove books from our local library--seems like it was the two moms story.

Now OUR librarian said not no but hell no in this 78% straight Republican ticket neighborhood and we had one hell of a book fight here with the nutters getting some library non-financing deal on the ballot. The nutters lost. That little librarian held her ground and ended up getting I believe it was a $25,000 award from one of the big library associations for winning her stand against censorship.

Now that Humble librarian is a freaking idiot and very unAmerican.
