Why people recommend it
All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson is a memoir detailing the author's experiences growing up Black and queer. Alexandra Alter discussed the book on The Book Review in the context of recent book bans targeting LGBTQ and racial themes, noting it has been one of the most challenged books over a two-year period. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly and her guests referenced the book while debating the presence of sexually explicit content in school libraries and the appropriateness of an award-winning title that includes a tragic storyline about a young man abused by a family member. Dan Pfeiffer and a co-host on Pod Save America also mentioned the title during a discussion about a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, noting that Senator Kennedy had read aloud some of the most explicit passages from the book alongside Maya Kobabe's Gender Queer to illustrate ongoing national debates over book censorship.
