Well, a huge chunk of them are/were. Some months ago when reading stories about banned books in TX - I started comparing articles written about it from left-wing / main stream news - and other places. Then I ordered several of the books listed as being banned. I must say that I don't think the graphic-novel version of the handmaids tale should be on the shelf at the local under 18 school (imho). The teen's underground guide to sexual.. something like that. I think parts of it are great for high schoolers who want to learn, and/if their parents are cool with that knowledge being sought after - I like the way it's worded.. but then the chapters on abortion and gay stuff.. I can understand why there is a movement to keep it off the shelves of school libraries. (which further research I found that those things were added in to the book after it had been in print for a number of years ) The linked story links to a page which highlights race/gay/historical percentages / numbers.. which links to a pen america study (https://pen.org/banned-in-the-usa/ https://pen.org/banned-in-the-usa/) for it's gist.. which states: Health-related and/or Sexual Content A subset of 283 titles (25%) deal with sexual or health-related content. After doing to small amount of research I did, I would say there is much more overlap on these things than is being shown in the raw numbers - and I could see that even if a group of parents in town X were okay with a gay black two mommies living hard in the USA story - if it had graphic illustrations like the ones in the hand maids tale I got - I would expect that many would say no - that should not be there for unfettered access to the kids.
