    don’t think they’ll stop at gay and anti-racist books. those two are simply easy targets to get started on, since they’ve already got the homophobe/racist vote in the bag. once they succeed in eradicating those books, you can bet your ass they’ll move on to remove anything critical of conservatives, privatized everything, trump, american exceptionalism, christianity (criticisms of all other religions will be protected), and whatever else they feel like, because they can.

    once they’re done with libraries, they’ll carry on to the entire publishing industry, stopping books from even going to print before they’re “reviewed” by a censorship board.

    and again, if you’re thinking “it could never happen here!” then take a look around you, look at texas, look at the supreme court–it’s been happening for many years
