Julie! All these issues, woven together, perfectly articulated—thank you! Called to mind another book about sexual freedom, being gay, being Irish: The Heart’s Invisible Furies, by John Boyne.

An incisive essay that provides important historical context for the deeply troubling rise of book banning in our time. I love the way you thoughtfully blend the personal with the political. Beautifully written and thought provoking.

What a thoughtful article. You brought in so many ideas about more than book banning. We need to let our voices be heard at the polls and be done with this foolery.
