Does this mean if they try to ban other books, lets say about abortion all you need to do to guarantee it Doesn’t get censored is included a gay part?
That would be the loophole to really piss em off :p
EDIT:
“prevents libraries from removing books “based solely on the viewpoint, content, message, idea, or opinion conveyed.” Instead, content curation will be managed by “a licensed library media specialist, an individual with a master’s degree in library sciences or library and information sciences, or a professional librarian or person with extensive library collection management experience."
Still though please can we turn non lgbt books into having a completely unnecessary lgbt subplot just because it would be funny. I am not even gay :p
Putting the control of books in the library to someone with that much understanding is very good. It seems that a lot of the book bans are spearheaded by parents that watch too much Fox News that don’t even see what the book contains.

Unironically, yes. Normalizing LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, and plots is much more helpful than having them be a “spicy” token minority for audience reaction. Look at Schitt’s Creek (different medium, I know) for example. The character David is pansexual and treated just like anyone else. His major love interest may be a guy but the plots about it have nothing to do with the fact that they’re both men, just that they’re two people in a romantic relationship with one partner being anxious and neurotic with the sass turned up to 11.

I’d say you don’t neccessarily be gay to write some queer fan fiction.
