Now banned: School board in Hillsborough FL voted today to ban "This Book is Gay". This is after 2 committees reviewed it and voted to keep it in schools. Here's what Juno Dawson told us @PENamerica about efforts to ban the book last fall. /1 https://twitter.com/PinkNews/status/1640834900684333056?t=Nq5SySk-nlbsC-x3UE6VbA&s=19
