The U.S. Supreme Court appeared inclined to rule in favor of Christian and Muslim parents in Maryland seeking to keep their elementary school children out of certain classes when storybooks with LGBT characters are read in the latest case involving the intersection of religion and LGBT rights.

Counsel representing a coalition of parents fighting to opt their children out of LGBTQ-related curriculum says the case is "not a book ban case but a religious freedom one.

The Supreme Court weighed whether parents can opt kids out of LGBT-themed books, bringing justices to debate religious rights, school policy, and limits of exposure.
