Ok, me and my frieng Kris were looking at some books to read for school in our library, and we are fiction-novel lovers so we head over to the section. We start looking for some good titled books, and Kris found one called: " Keeping you a secret"' By Julie Anne Peters.

A story about finding youself and falling in love, adressing problems with coming out to your parents, friends, and community.
It revoles around lesbian protaginist, so I recomend it to girls. but I warn you, this book will make you wanna punch your mother. ( Kris says get it on.)

I remember finding 'boy meets boy' at a local library. And then I found 'So hard to say' at the local used clothing/misc store in the children's book section and bought it for ten cents.

I didn't even realize what it was about, though I should have considering the back cover told you that the author had also written something called "Rainbow boys" or something of the sort.

But I would never find LGBT books at the school library. I don't think it's really deliberate, but even though we're right in the middle of gaytown it's full of immigrants from french countries because it's french public, which is nice, but means their parents are a little freaky sometimes. Not the kids mostly, just parents.

My local library threw out a children's book called "billy loves dresses".

I think that's bullshit.
I think children should have access to books like that, especially y'know because alot of transgenders realize they're transgendered at an early age. But I mean they're kids, so they may not understand what's wrong with them.

censoring literature and art is wrong. it's one thing to explain to a child in person why they aren't displaying something that might not be appropriate is one thing, but covering up art like it's something dirty that shouldn't exist is sick. Like those schools who don't allow To Kill a Mockingbird?
Plus 'protecting the innocence of children' is just bullshit. same principle as before: it should be explained, not hidden.

Tch. You don't see me throwing out typical hetero dating books. (Unless it's Twilight. I burn Twilight).

And I find schools/people throwing books and art out offensive. As an artist/author myself, I know the hard work and time that goes into them. A lot of artists and authors do.

And I can understand that they dont want their children growing up gay, or else society wont have any straight children and then society won't continue. stare Idiots. If the kid's gonna be LGBT, then let them! I say embrace it and support them, not freak out and/or punish them.

I don't think the book is part of a series. Cuz, we asked the librarian if there were anymore of her books today, and she said no but if there is she'd buy 'em for the school. ( biggrin She is a LBGT supporter! C: )

Yes! please BURN twilight. Anyway your right about society! And most people don't know this: If one child is placed with a straight family, and one with a gay couple at childbirth, The one raised in the gay family will be better "rounded" than if with a staight couple. Parents let your kids be gay, they'll make good parents. biggrin

I've heard of that book before~
I've yet to find any GLBT literature at my school library, but I can't say I've even looked. I want to try to find some now, haha.
I know for a fact that my local public library has quite a bit though. (I've checked some books out before.) They're mainly really cheesy, childish books, but I might read them, depending on my mood. I'm really picky about what I read. I really don't like dumb, unrealistic s**t like the Twilight Saga. If they made a similar version to that book, only with GLBT attributes, I still wouldn't read it.

Lol. And it's funny how children raised by straight parents in a straight enviroment can still turn out to be LGBT, and people still think things like books will just suddenly turn their child gay? Ha. Just shows hoe intelligent humans can be. I really don't understand their logic.

ps-Twilight makes very good firewood. twisted

I read Boy Meets Boy. So. Good. I had to hide it in my mattress, though, so my parents wouldn't find me reading it.

I loved it too. I found it so much fun! I'm an arty kid so I found the colors thing really funny.

And Twilight scares me a little. I mean, I can deal with het, depending the book I can love it, but Twilight... umm, there's something decidedly creepy about a male who claims to be a 108-year-old virgin despite being turned at age 18 which makes him an eternal beautiful teenager.

Also, I just remembered. Streched REALLY far, my school owns one book that is LGBT. Harry Potter. It has a gay character! And he's NICE. I don't think it counts though. Because she only mentioned that in interviews.
