In the award-winning novel “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” author Emily M. Danforth tells a moving coming-of-age story that chronicles first love and heartbreak, family obligations, and the fight for self-acceptance as her teenage protagonist comes to realize her lesbian identity– even as her experiences in a so-called “gay conversion” camp try to prevent her. Danforth says that she set out “to speak to young people” who grew up feeling that they, because of their LGBTQ+ identities, didn’t have a place in the literary canon.

    We all have causes we believe in. For Velshi, he tirelessly fights for children to have access to books with sexualThemes. What's it been? Over a year of this nonsense? What a creep

    These books are not banned and they are readily available. They are available on eBay and other booksellers. These books are not banned. This is a lie.
