I was talking to some of the school media specialists in my local school district (I work in our county's public library, so it's not an issue) and they weren't even allowed to talk to teenagers about being anything like that...even in terms of getting them "fiction" for pleasure reading. Breaks my heart. Teens who want to read LGBTQ fiction (or parents of these teens), if the schools won't get these books, check with your public libraries...we have different mandates and different collection development guidelines. Also...libraries great for those of us who have no $. :) I love that your school buys queer books.

That can only mean I have a mystic Autostraddle connection. ALSO, Google Chrome, why do you not recognize Autostraddle as a word? Look, now you do.

Because the lesbians that I know exist somewhere in those hallowed halls need books. And my school library buys queer books. Srsly. Also, I'm broke.

I am an Audre Lorde fan girl and she changed my life NGL. On a completely random note does anyone else share a love of Octavia E. Butler?
