Amid growing efforts to censor and ban LGBTQ+ books, one small bookstore in San Francisco is pushing back.
Lots of out-of-town visitors to Fabulosa Books in San Francisco react emotionally when they see what Becka Robbins calls the 'Big Gay Wall' — which features a stack of shelves brimming with LGBTQ+ titles. But Robbins, the store's events manager, remembers the response of a 15-year-old Ohio boy the best. 'Wait a minute! Is every single book on this whole wall gay?' the teen asked after walking in from Castro Street last year.
If the organization is interested, Robbins then works with its members to select titles that would best suit their needs, whether that's kids books, young adult books, guides for parents or anything else. So far, Robbins has sent off 35 boxes, or about 700 books, she said.
