Thousands of books were banned from libraries across the nation in 2024, and the majority were LGBTQI+ books written by queer writers featuring queer characters. homo-centric: BANNED Camp is a one hour event featuring local authors and performers reading selections from their favorite banned LGBTQI+ book. Come join us as we share some of these banned stories around the campfire! PEN USA will be at camp as well to offer information on how you can help the fight against censorship and book bans.
This program is part of the City of West Hollywood’s free 2025 WeHo Pride Arts Festival taking place May 23-25. For more information visit www.wehopride.com/artsfestival.
