We tell this story not just for us, but for every voice struggling to break free from the chains of censorship. We are a collection of voices that resonate throughout the LGBTQIA+ community; one of us is pansexual and a demi girl, another a lesbian, another a bisexual, and yet another is a nonbinary pansexual. Sadly, the world appears to be tightening its grip on what we can read, especially when they come from voices like ours. The banning of books from LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors is on a high rise - and it is deeply unfair. It is an affront to our inherent right to diversity of thought and a profound betrayal of the promise of inclusive learning. We question not only the intent but also the justification. What reason is there to clip the wings of knowledge and expression? Why should bigotry dictate what we learn, what we cherish? This is not the world we deserve. Let our voices be the rallying cry for advocates of intellectual freedom. Raise yours today! Stop the unjust banning of books by LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors. Let's make a change. We ask for your support. Please sign this petition.
