Acclaimed Kiwi author's US book tour halted amid fears of political backlash

Here I thought the book must include non-cis or non-straight characters, but no, it just happens to be a Korean-born author who included some Korean mythology.
An author with previous US success, but now no one will host her because they are scared of looking like they are being inclusive!
Meanwhile, Kim’s US publisher, Disney, is continuing to support Dreamslinger‘s rollout in American bookstores while organising a “belated” in-person tour towards the end of the year, “with the hope that the landscape has shifted somewhat by then”.
American here, I think the idea that things here will have shifted in any sort of positive way by the end of this year is a staggering level of optimism.
- Yea doesn't seem likely at all even if they somehow impeach Trump and remove him Vance is even worse.
