亚拉巴马提议在青年图书馆禁止正面的变性者书籍, 引发关于LGBT-LGBT权利和筹资的辩论。 Alabama proposes banning positive transgender books in youth libraries, sparking debate over LGBTQ+ rights and funding.

阿拉巴马公共图书馆服务局于2025年10月21日举行了一次公开听证会,讨论一项拟议规则,该规则将禁止青年部分以正面的视角描述变性人主题的书籍,并列举了对适龄性和父母控制的关切。 The Alabama Public Library Service held a public hearing on October 21, 2025, on a proposed rule that would ban books portraying transgender themes in a positive light from youth sections, citing concerns about age-appropriateness and parental control. 超过60人与支持者交谈, 主张这项行动保护儿童并增强家庭权能, 而反对者则称这项行动具有歧视性, 有害于LGBT-LGBT-Q青年, 并是一种禁止书籍的形式。 Over 60 people spoke, with supporters arguing the move protects children and empowers families, while opponents called it discriminatory, harmful to LGBTQ+ youth, and a form of book banning. 该规则如获通过,可能导致国家为不符合要求的图书馆提供资金的损失。 The rule, if adopted, could lead to loss of state funding for noncompliant libraries. 预计将在11月的董事会会议上作出决定。 A decision is expected at a November board meeting.
