Read For Filth: A 24-Hour Celebration Of Banned Books

Fabulosa Books announces Read For Filth, a 24 hour celebration of queer literature in the Castro. At a moment when LGBTQIA+ books are under attack and anti-gay harassment is spiking, let’s come together to celebrate stories that bring us together. Read For Filth will be a grand affirmation of queer joy and a resounding rejection of hate and censorship. With proceeds going towards Books Not Bans, a program that help send queer books to LGBT centers and groups in red states, this 24-hour event will include activities for all ages celebrating stories that help us be more free. The event coincides with Banned Book Week, an annual celebration created by the American Library Association (ALA) that celebrates the freedom to read, in opposition to book bans. FREE
