Well said! I appreciate you adding the "why don't we do this" as well as mentioning to also be careful with Christian libraries. Some of those books don't get screened!
I would love to hear your thoughts on differing standards. For example, I am comfortable reading a book with LGBT background characters or the occasional four letter word, if the story is compelling and has value.
I think I personally would agree that I would read a book with an LGBTQ+ character in it for the story (for example, I am currently reading Neal Shusterman's "The Toll", which has a genderfluid character). But I know many people, especially parents of teens, do not want their kids reading about LGBTQ+ characters or themes at all.
