When I was reading this particular book, I felt that I couldn't understand why this book tends to get censored. Once I got into the book, I realized that the themes are so in the background and not obviously part of the plot. Once they encounter something unpleasant, they either solve it or move on. The controversial themes include adultery, AIDS (and STDs), pregnancy and GLBT issues.
I thought it was particularly endearing that Weetzie Bat doesn't care about the sexual orientation of her friend, Dirk, although it seems that they are dating.
