I don't like it either, but how are they 'forcing' their lifestyle on anyone? Is reading the book mandatory?

Mass truancy, perhaps?

Reading this book shouldn't even be optional for young people this age.
I think the outrage expressed here stems more from the inappropriateness of the material to the age group.

No, it isn't forcing, it is suggesting that this might be a good choice. Choices that children are not mature enough to comprehend. It pretty much announces that the homosexual lifestyle is an option, and maybe even a good choice.

So, yes, by suggesting to people not even old enough to make any decision at all about matters relating to sex that they can act on any urge in this manner, they are forcing their views.
