Blume told Variety that the challenges “all broke loose” following the election of President Ronald Reagan but argued that efforts to ban books today are different.
“It was bad in the ’80s, but it wasn’t coming from the government. Today, there are laws being enacted where a librarian can go to prison if she or he is found guilty of having pornography on their shelves,” Blume said.
“Try and define pornography today and you’ll find that it’s everything.”
Right because we could never define pornography which has a very clear legal meaning…
“No child is going to become transgender or gay or lesbian because they read a book. It’s not going to happen. They may say, ‘Oh, this is just like me. This is what I’m feeling and thinking about.’ Or, ‘I’m interested in this because I have friends who may be gay, bi, lesbian.’ They want to know.”
Explain the known cluster effect with trans and gay identities then?
Blume later praised one book – Maia Kobabe’s frequently-challenged memoir “Gender Queer” – for offering her insight into a life other than her own.
“I thought, ‘This young person is telling me how they came to be what they are today.’ And I learned a lot, and became even more empathetic,” she said.
“That’s what books are all about.”’
