Banned Books Countdown: Forbidden Passages: Writings Banned in Canada Pat Califia et al.
Allegations of obscenity or immorality are more likely to be applied to content for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals or Transgendered people. For example, the American Civil Liberties Union has felt the need to initiate a Don't Filter Me campaign against schools that unconstitutionally filter out internet content to students simply because the content is directed to an LGBT audience. This can happen even if the content in question is entirely non sexual in nature.
Long before internet filters began singling out LGBT audiences though, Canada customs was stopping shipments of books to stores serving the LGBT community such as Little Sisters in Vancouver and Glad Day Bookshop in Toronto, even while they often allowed shipments of identical titles to "reputable" bookstores. On one occasion, Canada customs even intercepted a domestic shipment!
Eventually the issue recieved international attention as many LGBT authors found they could not sell their work in Canada. Cleis Press, an American Publisher came out with Forbidden Passages: Writings Banned in Canada in 1995. Eventually the Supreme Court ruled in Little Sister's favour in 2000.
