LGBTQ-themed books top list of banned books in 2022.

Books with LGBTQ+ themes are the most likely targets of bans or attempted bans at public schools and libraries in the US, according to a report by the American Library Association. The report revealed that Maia Kobabe’s graphic memoir “Gender Queer” was the most “challenged” book of 2022, with other books facing similar trials including George M. Johnson’s “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” Mike Curato’s “Flamer,” and Stephen Chbosky’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The majority of complaints come from parents and library patrons, with political/religious groups objecting to a disproportionate number of books.
