Good point. “Banned” here is really shorthand for “queer and non-white and non-west-centric and non-abled and non-capitalist perspectives”. I’m feeling eaten alive emotionally by the censorship of the american christian right and looking for a constructive way to counter those feelings.
So.... Is this a correct, more descriptive name for what you mean? " minority POV stories ". Yeah I understand, unfortunately Louisiana decided that those bans were good. Which is insane considering the number of unique groups living in south Louisiana.
Yes and no? I’ve been trying to find the words to answer this - minority pov stories is definitely one big part of what I’m talking about, but maybe not the only thing I mean? I guess I want to read more books that challenge the kinds of awful laws like the one in Louisiana, and the thinking behind them. And, I want to do it online in a group, lol, so I can meet people and learn things I didn’t know.
