The Unicorn Express is a (U.S-based) community-supported effort established in response to the widespread banning of books that are written by LGBTQ+ authors, feature LGBTQ+ storylines, and/or discuss gender and sexuality. The Unicorn Express sends free LGBTQ+ titles by mail to LGBTQ+ youth living in states and/or districts where bans have been put in place.
