Two Boys Kissing by Scholastic editorial director David Levithan follows the interlocking stories of seven gay teenagers who are in various stages of coming to terms with being gay. They are all in different situations. Harry and Craig want to set the world record for the longest kiss to make a statement about homosexuality and homophobia. Ryan and Avery meet at a gay prom and become a new couple. Peter and Neil are a long-term couple, and Cooper is figuring out what being gay means to him, with hardly any clue on how to deal with it.

King's Books will discuss Two Boys Kissing - a book that captures the struggle and the history of the LGBT past and melds it with the present and the future - at its monthly Banned Book Club meeting at Doyle's Public House. The other struggle will be trying to discuss the book at Doyle's during the World Cup hoopla.

BANNED BOOK CLUB, 7 p.m. Doyle's Public House, 208 St Helens Ave, Tacoma, free admission, 253.272.7468
