Queer voices are often at the forefront of book challenges, particularly when they involve romance. They are viewed as more sexually explicit than heterosexual romances, even when the romantic content is similar.

We all fight fascism in our own way. Some march. Some write their representatives.

I fight by writing fun, exciting novels where transgender and other queer women kick ass.

"To ban a book in Florida, you don't have to read it. You don't even have to know who wrote it.

But if you're an elementary school child, you now have to file a request. And pass a test. To read a poem." unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/the-... #BannedBooksWeek #TBT

Can't believe it's Thursday and i haven't acknowledged #BannedBooksWeek.

#Booksky, in between the cons, the classes, and the protest, whatcha y'all reading (banned or pre-banned)?

Is 'The Color Purple' also a banned book? Can't believe it. It's also a great book, an essential read, and very touching. We should ban the people who ban books.
