It does not go too far in any way. The book is presumably a love guide - not an abuse guide. No harm is being done, just a different type of lifestyle being expressed to mutual benefit.
Today 'positive liberty' is abused and utilised, to justify a perverted justice protecting children from 'harm', in turn coercing free speech, different lifestyles, and forcing us all to be de-individuated 'moral' subhumans - no better than the collective in N Korea.

The book should not have been withdrawn. I hope he finds another shop in which to sell it...

By the way, "coercing" means forcing people to do something.
I think you meant something like "squelching" or "strongly discouraging" free speech and individual life-style choice.

In any case it is cool to irritate people with stuff like that

I wonder how many of the protesters had actually seen or read the book

Probably none of them.

My bad - sleepy headed.

You're right - I meant discouraging. Should have said 'coercing against'.
