SUMMARY:December 2025 Banned Book Club - Gender Queer
DESCRIPTION:Join us each month for thought-provoking discussions in the Banned Book Club\, where we will explore the powerful stories and ideas that have been silenced by book bans across America. Every month\, we’ll dive into either a book currently banned or one that examines the culture of censorship and its impact on society. Together\, we’ll challenge the limits of free expression\, reflect on the importance of diverse voices\, and discuss why certain books are under attack. Whether you’re reading for pleasure or actively seeking ideas outside your comfort zone\, each meeting offers a space for open dialogue\, critical thinking\, and a deeper understanding of the books that shape our world. Come ready to read\, reflect\, and resist! \nOur December book is Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe. Stop in or order your copy (regular or deluxe edition) from Cavalier House Books Lafayette today! \nAbout the Book: \n2020 ALA Alex Award Winner\n2020 Stonewall — Israel Fishman Non-fiction Award Honor Book \nIn 2014\, Maia Kobabe\, who uses e/em/eir pronouns\, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time\, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now\, Gender Queer is here. Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity\, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes\, grappling with how to come out to family and society\, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction\, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. \nStarted as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual\, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates\, friends\, and humans everywhere. \nCheck out Unite Against Book Bans’ book resumé for Gender Queer.
