More LGBTQ books are under attack but we are fighting back & They/Them is a thriller with 7 queer leading characters – Wednesday, August 31, 2022

A heroic high school librarian who opposed the removal of LGBTQ books receives a national honor, a gay son speaks out against his fundamentalist mom’s book-banning crusade, and in slasher ‘They/Them”, queer people are the heroes, not victims.
