Biiiiiig moment for a little queer boy:
I used to walk into @gaystheword as a teenager, too scared to pick anything up, let alone buy anything.
And now...
My book is on their shelves.

Excuse me whilst I do a cry. X

UK school librarians told to remove LGBTQ books, including titles like Heartstopper.
This is Section 28 by the back door.
You can’t teach children to be gay but you can teach them that it’s ok if they are.
