  1. Does someone from The Hub vet the articles that are included here? I’m a little concerned about The Federalist article, especially as it contains quite a bit of anti-LGBT rhetoric:

    “A muscle-bound former male Olympic athlete gets breast implants and dresses in a skirt, and you have to call him a woman? You’d better. Somebody comes up with weird invented pronouns and insists people use them? It’s the law. Giant bruisers of men dressed as women insist on competing in women’s sports—and contact sports at that—and everyone is required to smile and call it “equality”? God help you if you don’t go along or breathe the slightest word of skepticism.”

    I know I may be feeding into his point, but this was not something I was expecting to see on a blog for librarians providing services for teens and overall seems pretty positive towards LGBT issues.

    1. Thanks for making us aware of this. While we make our best effort to include relevant, timely content from various points of view, I agree that, upon closer review, this article is not in line with what we regularly share on the Hub, and I have removed it from the list.
