First, Alex travels back in time to unpack the history of LGBTQ+ book censorship. Then we sit down with the team behind The QT Library, a brick-and-mortar queer lending library in Boston. Staff members Jake, Carly, Nicola, and Sarah tell us how QT came to be, why books matter to them, and&nbsp;their dreams for the future of the library and our great, big, queer world. Whether you’re a bookworm or a brand new reader, this episode has something for anyone curious about the wondrous world of queer literature.</p><p><br></p><p>All authors, books and writers mentioned in this episode can be found in our <a href=\"https://thefutureperfectproject.org/podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">📝S4e2 Show Notes.</a></p><p><br></p><p>⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS:</p><p><em>Please note that some resources may contain triggering content and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of, or the definitions used by, The Future Perfect Project.&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p>⏱️ TIME STAMPS:</p><p>0:28 Intro Song</p><p>1:06 Meet your hosts, Alex &amp; Samuel!</p><p>3:25 Fun Fact of the Day (ft.
