Gay son speaks out against his fundamentalist mom’s book-banning crusade
A 28-year-old gay man is speaking out against his own mother’s crusade to ban books in his Texas hometown.
Weston Brown has been largely estranged from his family since coming out in 2018, but when he came across a video of his mother Monica demanding that books featuring LGBTQ themes and depictions of sexuality be banned at a school board meeting in North Texas, he decided to speak up.
“This is my mom,” Brown wrote on Twitter in early July, in response to another tweet about Monica’s remarks. “Seeing her advocate for the erasure of queer representation is crushing. Coming up on the 5 year anniversary of being effectively cut off from my family and siblings after coming out in 2018. Much love to those standing up and pushing back for representation.”
