When liberal publishers in some Western countries decide to green-light math titles by LGBT+ authors in spite of the high risk of offending or alienating conservative potential customers—when they argue that sexual orientation and math publication needn’t be mutually exclusive.
Radical Islamist groups from rogue nations like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Iran have warned foreign publishers that their publications would be removed from bookstores if they’re caught shipping rainbow math titles to both Mohammedans and “infidels.”

When people wander why every now and then you can’t help yourself but to randomly start behaving like an irrational or even delusional person, although they are curiously or mysteriously mesmerized by your transcendental beauty or brilliant brain.
