The Upshur County Public Library Board in West Virginia recently pulled the children’s book, ‘Prince & Knight’, from the library due to its LGBTQ content. The book was removed from the shelves of the library at the wishes of a local pastor who released an anti-LGBTQ statement claiming the book “is a deliberate attempt to indoctrinate young children, especially boys, into the LGBTQA lifestyle.” “The decision to remove Prince & Knight from the shelves of the Upshur County Public Library is an act of discrimination, plain and simple. Inclusive children’s books do not ‘indoctrinate’ but do allow LGBTQ families and their children the chance to see themselves reflected in the world.” Daniel Haack, the author of ‘Prince & Knight’ (as well as coauthoring ‘Maiden & Princess’ with Isabel Galupo) said the book is “meant to be a fun little adventure story that also just happens to better reflect the reality of millions of families not seen in other children’s stories. If the protesters are worried that reading this book will turn someone gay, I can easily refer them to all the gay adults who grew up only reading about straight romances.” 📚 #danielhaack #princeandknight #maidenandprincess #lgbtq #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqchildrensbooks #childrensbooks #fairytales #glaad #inclusive #representationmatters #diversebooks #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #tbr #toread #needtoread https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ivz4ghVgI/?igshid=16a64uy91y7uo
