While talking to my husband this morning, I noted that the book-ban crowd hasn't gone after LGBTQ authors and artists.
Not their work, but targeting them as individuals, e.g., Gertrude Stein, James Baldwin, Oscar Wilde.
(The same can be said of historical figures, e.g., Bayard Rustin, Alan Turing--and we know how much they love history.)
He succinctly responded, "They will."
