Famed coming-of-age novelist Judy Blume has publicly expressed support of the LGBTQ community,best indian teen sex videos in a response to a recent Sunday Timesinterview that appeared to align her with the anti-trans statements of fellow author J.K. Rowling.
The Sunday Timesquoted Blume as saying, "I am behind her 100 percent as I watch from afar." The story's headline reads, "The bestselling children’s writer has shaped the minds of millions, just like the Harry Potter author — and she’s every bit as controversial."

"I wholly support the trans community... I stand with the trans community and vehemently disagree with anyone who does not fully support equality and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ people. Anything to the contrary is total bullshit."
Blume, known for her best-selling stories about sexuality, puberty, and other topics once seen as "taboo" for young children, is back in the press cycle for the newly released adaptation of her book Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. The book follows the story of an 11-year-old girl who is navigating the perils of becoming an adult, like growing apart from friends, sex-ed classes, menstruation, and even her own faith.

Following the story's publication, some Twitter users came to Blume's defense, noting that the article's author, Hadley Freeman, has been criticized for her "gender critical" stances and even previously accused of interviewing literary icons to garner support of anti-trans rhetoric. In February 2022, Freeman profiled TheHandmaid's Taleauthor Margaret Atwood for The Guardian, questioning whether her anti-cancel culture stance was contradicted by her expression of support for the trans community in response to comments from Rowling.

Freeman issued a response to Blume on Monday, tweeting, "I don’t normally respond to nonsense like this because it’s absurd. But here are screenshots of Judy Blume’s and my conversation. For the record, my quotes are accurate and not disputed. I did not ask Blume about the criticisms against J.K. Rowling — she brought them up herself."
In light of the controversy, Blume also posted quotes that reiterated her stance against book-banning and censorship, specifically noting her thoughts on the rise of anti-LGBTQ legislation while speaking at Variety'sPower of Women luncheon in April.

"I would like to end this on a sweet and positive note but the reality is, we are right back where we were in the '80s except it’s the '80s on steroids," Blume said to event attendees. "This time it's not the moral majority or only the religious right. This time it is coming from our government. Lawmakers, drunk with power, with a need to control everything. Sure it's still sexuality, but it's gender, it’s LGBTQ+, it's racism, it's history itself that's under fire."
