LGBTQ+ books have become a major focus of censorship efforts across the United States, raising important questions about representation, access to diverse stories, and the role of literature in society. In this video, we explore the rise of LGBTQ+ book bans, why queer stories matter, and what these challenges mean for readers, authors, and our community.
Learn why LGBTQ+ books are being challenged, how representation shapes understanding and belonging, and why protecting access to diverse stories remains an important part of education and inclusion.
