Diverse children’s literature can shape young minds. Through the power of storytelling, they inspire young readers to embrace their own identities, respect others, and create a future where love knows no bounds. Books play a vital role in representing different identities and experiences, allowing young readers to see themselves reflected and learn about the world around them. These exceptional LGBTQ+ children’s books serve as windows to a world of understanding, compassion, and self-discovery. https://bit.ly/3RbXBDx

Barbers and stylists from Louisville, Kentucky, teamed up last Sunday to give free, gender-affirming haircuts for LGBTQ+ youth in the area. “Hair wizards” from across Kentucky’s largest city convened at Werkhaus Barbers on Bardstown Road for the free event aimed at providing “bodily autonomy” for their clients.

“It hurts me to know there are people out there that have that much hate,” attendee Nathan Stover told WSYX. He also said the protestors were “yelling things very inappropriate for kids to hear.” But the celebration continued, and in its aftermath, Mayor Ike Stage and the Grove City Council issued a joint statement in support of the LGBTQ+ community to “condemn the display of hate.” https://bit.ly/4eITpE8

In a lawsuit filed against Denver Public Schools, Nathan Feldman claimed both he and his two children were discriminated against by a policy that allows teachers to hang Pride flags in their classrooms at their discretion. Feldman said his family’s First Amendment rights were infringed upon when school administrators rejected his demand to hang “Straight Pride” banners up alongside LGBTQ+ flags in Mile High classrooms. https://bit.ly/3BAXNXl

it's the choice of the parents, without direction. Imagine a Muslim saying to mass read internal jihad that has no control in the context of an authority body. Sexual preference is the label correct? Why not do it as a Canadian and no need to announce a subject that is private to most? "The Princess Knight takes readers on an empowering journey with Princess Violetta, who defies traditional gender roles by becoming a knight. As she dons armor and embarks on heroic quests, Violetta challenges the notion that certain roles are limited by gender. The book sends a powerful message that every child should be free to follow their dreams." So gender is not a requirement if you read children's book that is past 6 months they only use the name as a reference. It confusing to a child when they are learning the biological components. So teach quantum physics before basic physics. It only creates issues. Please excuse the bluntness, I am giving children a voice as a father of 2.
