A Virginia Beach Circuit Court judge on Tuesday dismissed an effort to declare two books obscene and unfit for children.
Judge Pamela Baskervill found that “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe and “A Court of Mist and Fury” by Sarah J. Maas are not obscene under state law. In the process, she also raised concerns about due process by not providing notice to all parties which could be impacted by a ruling in the case.
“We’re gratified with the ruling,” Robert Corn-Revere, an attorney for Barnes & Noble, said.
