"Anyone who checked out [This Book Is Gay] from this church should have their hard drive checked immediately," critic says. Talarico's church defends its "banned books" but doesn't name or describe them in detail.
The more Texans hear that their Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, James Talarico, is aiming to reclaim Christianity for the progressive left, the more they're likely to learn what his home church believes and practices.
The Daily Wire reviewed the books accessible to children in the library at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, where Talarico's sermons as a seminary student included calls for "abortion care" for gender-confused women.
It found materials with "illustrations of oral sex and masturbation," discussions of "anal rape and incest" and graphic explanations of "gay sex." Other books reflect Talarico's theology that "God is queer" and promote gender confusion in children, including political activism for "trans kids" and LGBTQ Presbyterians.
The church defends its inclusion of what it calls "banned books" while only vaguely describing their content, "from picture books to young adult novels. [...] Children, teens, young adults, and older adults can find affirmation in the books they read."
It invites website visitors to "browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice...common themes…particular experiences and identities being censored," but none is named on the site.
The Babylon Bee's real-news counterpart Not the Bee branded the church's books "pornographic material" and said "anyone who checked out [This Book Is Gay] from this church should have their hard drive checked immediately."
Incase anyone isnt aware of how disgusting "This Book is Gay" is here is a quick summary. pic.twitter.com/aQXd7wJmNX— Steve (@Steve113875651) May 27, 2026
Talarico kicked off his general election campaign this week after Attorney General Ken Paxton won the Republican primary, telling around 1,000 supporters at a Houston dance club that Paxton is "the most corrupt politician in America."
The Associated Press deemed that "a stark pivot from the more sunny, spiritual theme of Talarico's Democratic primary campaign."

This guy gives off Jim Jones vibes. He would pass out Kool-Aid, and the people supporting him would drink it.
I was shocked to see that he’s a Presbyterian!...........
I don’t see this giving off any charisma vibes. The vibes he gives off to me is “Look at me I’m pathetic!”.
They will all gladly tell you that the word “pornography” is not in the bible, so Jesus must approve...
Sounds like something Fr.James Joseph Martin Jr. an American Jesuit priest would be interested in.
"PERFECTY LGBTO"? C'mon.
Yes, I noticed...........
I’m not defending this pervert blasphemer in any way, shape, or form.
Just saying, there are “AI screw-ups” all over that image.
Yes...but the fact these x-rated books are in his church is not fake.

I'm telling you, this guy is as gay as a French trombone.
AI image editors often mess up letters, to the AI a letter isn’t text it’s just part of latent space.
I was thinking more like Charles Manson.
That boy ain’t right.
Yes, I saw them......
It’s AI created, that’s why it’s screwy in places......
If that's true, then there ought to be real photos of those books and other materials sitting in the library. Surely somebody could get in there with a camera.
At the present time, no such real photos are known to exist. IMO, if we want to avoid looking like fools being led around by AI hallucinations, somebody ought to get some real pics.
It's a shame to weaken the argument against this guy by using obvious, lousy, AI hallucinated fakes. It's a lost opportunity, and ammo to the opposition.
Just sayin'...
