The Full Spectrum by David Levithan, Billy Merrell
3.0
I read this book because it was banned in New Jersey - not far from where I grew up. A high school library was asked to remove this from the shelves. I just wanted to see what caused all the fuss. I believe that the book should not have been banned.
Yes, some of these issues have to be hard to deal with in high school. I am sorry for any one of any age who has to deal with the reality of glbqt in their life. This country is so fearful of the whole issue of sex.
However, we can't bury our heads in the sand. There is no point. If I was unsure of my sexual orientation, this book would be a godsend. So many young people telling their life stories has got to help others.
I am sorry we are so fearful as a society. These issues do not go away if you stop talking about them.
