A six-month investigation revealed that 53% of UK school librarians had been asked to remove LGBT+ literature, with over half complying after parental complaints.
Specific titles removed include 'This Book Is Gay' and 'Julian is a Mermaid,' sparking outrage from LGBT+ charities and advocacy groups about the increasing censorship.
MPs and authors warn this trend toward censorship indicates a worrying regression on gay rights, echoing historical prejudices thought to be behind us.
One librarian reported being told to remove every book with LGBT+ themes after a single complaint, illustrating how easily censorship can begin.
