Oh, yes, of course it's OK. The Chronicles of Narnia is a first-rate example. Left Behind is a third- or fourth-rate example. It also features blond good guys and swarthy bad guys, but we'll let that go.
The people who want to ban books about homosexual anything, except the stuff about how evil they are and how to "turn" them into straights (With what, I wonder? Fairy godmothers are obviously out...) are the object of my comparison. If I thought the way they do, that everything not supporting my point of view should not be accessible to the public, the Left Behind series, wildly popular, of mediocre literary quality, promising extermination for non-Christians, would be first on my hit list of things people would not be allowed to read. I find it morally offensive and artistically irrelevant. If I were to behave like book banning activists, my opinion would be superior to anyone else's and my outrage would trump anyone else's need. That would be enough to get the series pulled from the shelves.
