A San Francisco bookstore is sending boxes of LGBTQ+ books to parts of the country where they are censored to counter the rapidly growing effort by conservative advocacy groups and lawmakers to ban them from public schools and libraries. The bookstore has already sent more than 700 books around the country to places like Florida, Texas, and Missouri, where many of the book bans have taken place. One recipient is a recently opened LGBTQ+ community center in Florida.
