Wake County Library ban of LGBTQ+ book may be unconstitutional; The News & Observer, December 16, 2021

SARA PEQUEÑO, The News & Observer; Wake County Library ban of LGBTQ+ book may be unconstitutional

"On Wednesday, the Wake County Public Library announced it was pulling its copies of the graphic novel memoir Gender Queer out of circulation. In a statement to The News & Observer, a spokesperson said it was due to “explicit illustrations that do not align with WCPL’s selection policy.”

The decision has been met with outcry from LGBTQ+ groups and activists, but it’s possible that the action could have legal consequences for the county government."
