## A San Francisco store is shipping LGBTQ+ books to places where they are banned

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In an increasingly divisive political sphere, Becka Robbins focuses on what she knows best — books.

She asked herself how she could get these books into the hands of the people who need them the most.

Her books have gone to places like a pride center in west Texas and an LGBTQ-friendly high school in Alabama.

Customers are especially enthusiastic about helping Robbins send books to places in states like Florida, Texas and Oklahoma, often writing notes of support to include in the packages.

Over 40% of all book bans from July 2022 to June 2023 were in Florida, more than any other state.

An LGBTQ+ related book is seen on display at Fabulosa Books, in the Castro District of San Francisco on Thursday, June 27, 2024.

DeShazo hopes to provide a safe space for events, support groups and health clinics, and to build a library of banned books. »

Failing to call out egregious and constant lies is just journalistic malpractice, especially when we’ve all had nine years of covering Trump.

Naturally, it was pundits pummeling Biden’s lackluster performance and crowing that it confirmed their previous carping about his age.

“There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency. »
