My town is now attempting to ban LGBTQ+ books. I am beyond livid right now. The parents at the elementary school noticed that one of the summer reading books featured a drag Queen. They’re ranting about it all over and just being pricks about it. Now they have a whole list of LGBTQ+ books they want banned. Apparently the books are “Teaching kids to be gay and follow the devil”. My town is having a meeting this afternoon to ban books like heartstopper, middle schools a drag: you better werk, the sun and the star, the girl from the sea, project nought, in deeper waters, and many more. The thing all these books have in common are LGBTQ+ characters. My family and I are going to attend the meeting later to protest the book banning but I don’t know how Many other people will be there to protest. The meeting was scheduled around 1:00 when most of the people against the banning will be at work. The adults did this PURPOSELY to prevent others from protesting against the banning. Pardon my language but WTF?!?!?! This is wrong on so many levels and I never thought that my town, full of LGBTQ+ kids and youth would have to worry about this. Im angry and Im frustrated and I think that everyone should be able to find themselves in literature and should not have that taken away from them.
