'This Book Is Gay' Author Juno Dawson Takes On Book Banning
Juno Dawson’s This Book Is Gay is the ninth most banned book in America. In the near-decade since its 2014 publication, it has become a touchstone for readers seeking solace and education in the highly underrepresented area of LGBTQ+ sex awareness. The book was intended as an instruction manual for those not finding answers to questions about gender, sex, and sexuality.
“I felt as a former educator, sex education for LGBTQ+ teenagers wasn’t very good,” Dawson explained in a heartfelt video posted to Instagram. “They weren’t really learning anything about safety in relationships.”
Dawson wrote the book to give hope to those who found their journey rife with confusion instead of wonder and hope, and This Book Is Gay found its audience, positively affected readers’ lives, and became a bestseller along the way. “This book is truly something I wish I had growing up when I was figuring out who I am,” said Corey Evans, in a Goodreads review. “It should be a must read for all teens so that they never own to feel alone; i

Gay existence, much like this guide, is full of strange icons, grief, errors, anarchy, fetishes, feathers, masculinity, onanism, insane desire, self-loathing, love and garbage. All that is also gay and is drawn with a childish stroke, because immaturity is gay and because actually all children are gay.
Consuming society embodied in a physical object in the year 2022 is gay and paying for a book too observe things that are available for free on Instagram is gay. But now money is same-sex attracted. And Pepo Moreno too.
