According \u2062to NLPC, PFLAG\u200c has\u2063 transformed \u2062into a more aggressive activist group with expansionist \u200dstrategies.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-aligned-super-pac-eyes-hunter-biden-in-latest-ad\/\" title=\"Super PAC aligned with Trump targets Hunter Biden in new ad.\">ad\u200c raises concerns<\/a>\u200b about \u2063PFLAG&#8217;s endorsement of sexually explicit books \u2064found in school libraries, such as &#8220;This Book Is Gay,&#8221; &#8220;Gender Queer,&#8221; &#8220;Flamer,&#8221; and &#8220;Lawn Boy.&#8221; \u2062These books have been flagged by parents across the nation for their mature and, in some cases,\u200b pornographic content. In fact, they made the American Library Association&#8217;s (ALA) list of the top 13\u200c most challenged books of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 NLPC ad&#8217;s\u2064 narrator\u2064 questions whether Oreo, a beloved sandwich cookie brand, is contributing to the corruption of children\u2064 by\u2062 supporting PFLAG. It asks, &#8220;What happened to the kid-friendly cookie we \u2064all used to know and love? Don&#8217;t let PFLAG and Oreo corrupt your\u200c children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>PFLAG&#8217;s Connection \u2062to Banned Books Week<\/h3>\n<p>PFLAG is an official supporter of Banned\u2064 Books Week,\u2062 an annual event that promotes \u200bthe very books mentioned earlier.
