I'm a middle-aged white male. I'll say this about censorship of so-called LGBTQIA+ books:

If you're offended by books about sexuality, perhaps especially other sexualities than what you feel is your own, you're the problem. Sexuality isn't a problem. Trying to limit other peoples' choices is a problem.

This has nothing to do with 'oh, they're older, things were different then' or any other kind of psychobabble to excuse this type of censorship.

This is xenophobia, nothing else; it's about trying to forbid what you've perhaps not experienced or considerably thought through, which is appalling and anti-intellectual.

We should always speak out when people try to limit the rights of others.

The Guardian · Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreadsVon Ella Creamer

I wonder how many of those putting unfair pressure on UK librarians would be the first to scream "freedom of speech" if challenged?

Look up "The Empty Library" in Berlin. Every time I see newspaper articles like this, I'm reminded of it.

Let people read and do what they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Today, I want to share about a series of mine that doesn't get a lot of love - The Franssisi Four Chronicles.

It's very different from my usual writing. For once, it's SF. For another, it is very spicy. *VERY* spicy. Fair warning.

Tropes include alien overlords, humans as pets, polyamory, survival in the wilderness, lots of secrets and stone age tech in an SF story.

"Decoy" is book 1, and it's free everywhere.
