A book for a young adult audience that the American Library Association described as "the most banned book in the country," is now under scrutiny for rejection from bookshelves at private stores.
A Republican Virginia state delegate has filed a lawsuit against the author and publisher of Gender Queer, a book about the nonbinary and asexual experience, demanding the Barnes & Noble require parental consent before selling the book to minors. State delegate Tim Anderson and his client Tommy Altman, a state congressional candidate, said on Wednesday that "the Virginia Beach Circuit Court has found probable cause that the books Gender Queer and A Court of Mist and Fury are obscene to unrestricted viewing by minors," according to a Fox affiliate.
