Anti-Censorship Manifesto

 Danika Ellis published an anti-censorship manifesto here. The slant is towards Texas' attack on queer literature but I think here point applies to all censorship. That point being censorship makes the world small.

But we need to recall how dangerous are the fears of the small-minded. Remember there was a short, even a straight line, from burning books in bonfires to burning bodies in gas ovens. We must back up any manifestos with deeds, starting with voting for those who are not frightened into the small-mindedness of banning books. Hopefully, voting wil suffice.

And for why books such as queer literature is important to protect read this interview.
