In 2015, district librarians received 50 complaints to remove two books from their shelves, both of which center LGBTQ content: Gayle E. Pitman's This Day in June and Cheryl Kilodavis's My Princess Boy. The library board refused to remove the books, stating that the books do not promote homosexuality and that parental approval is already required to check out the books; however, they moved This Day in June to the adult section. As a result of the meeting, the libraries removed 130 titles for review, nearly 75% of which featured LGBTQ characters or themes. Kate Huddleston, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, commented that this "is very much evidence of anti-LGBTQ and particularly anti-trans discrimination." == References ==
