While an undergrad Eng Lit minor, a book we planned to read was Yukio Mishima’s Confessions of a Mask. Parents complained to the administration of ATM about the gay themes. The book became “optional”. I left for UT— have been anti book banning ever since. #visityourlibrary #representationeducates
Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
