“This censorship is being mobilized by groups espousing conservative viewpoints — and has spread to nearly every state— and predominantly targets books about race and racism or books featuring individuals of color and LGBTQ+ people and topics, as well those for older readers that have sexual references or discuss sexual violence.“ #bannedbooks

pickWanted to read a banned book, & I can see why this would be challenged by some horrified parent afraid their teen might get ideas. 🙄 Mostly memoir/part guidebook for teenagers about growing up & finding their identity & belonging as a LGBTQIA+ person. A couple of sex scenes from the author‘s first experiences. An interesting book, Johnson has good stories to tell.
