This weekend anti-LGBTQIA+ hate speech incidents occurred in a number of buildings on campus. Tomorrow, I’m having hard conversations with my students about the words they use, the words they listen to their friends use and how a slur has become frequent on campus. I am furious and sad.

Jen is angry. She is wearing a mask, her glasses and a Coe Alliance tshirt.

I can no longer say that I don’t know if my books have been banned or challenged anymore. Also, why does the list use my legal name and not my publishing name. Ugh.
