Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.

    “Criticize LGBTQ”? They’ve claimed that anything that even mentions LGBTQ is sexually explicit and must be banned. If a character in a book so much as says “I’m gay,” that’s enough for the book to be banned. Meanwhile, a book where a boy likes a girl is deemed just fine because that’s not LGBTQ.

    The book banning movement is an attempt to erase LGBTQ from literary works by saying “LGBTQ= Sexually Explicit.”
