Abstract
This article discusses the issue of book bans and censorship, particularly focusing on recent bans of books about queer kids or written by queer authors. The author highlights the importance of these books for queer youth and argues that banning them is not just an objection to obscenity, but an objection to queer kids living. The article also mentions historical instances of book burnings and censorship, emphasizing the need to protect freedom of expression and the right to read. The author suggests supporting organizations like PEN America, joining advocacy groups, and using one's voice to push for change in order to fight against book bans. [Extracted from the article]
