Sigh. Growing up gay in St Mary’s meant developing a convoluted personal philosophy and planning a career / lifestyle escape. Tragically inhumane/abusive every damn time no matter which parents you “belonged”
The only time any of those complaining would even think to go to a library is to search out some nonsense reason to be outraged. Prior to the start of this foolishness, I seriously doubt most of them even knew where their local library was located.
It’s not just keeping books they don’t like away from their own kids that they’re after.
They want to return to the days when there was such a social taboo about being gay that everyone stayed in the closet. They don’t just want their own kids not to learn that being gay is perfectly acceptable, they want your kids not to learn it either, because then your kids might give their kids the idea that being gay is acceptable.
It was never about their right to decide what their kids do or don’t read. It’s about regressing to the good ol’ days where the taboo nature of homosexuality meant they didn’t have to worry about their uncloseted children embarrassing them in front of their church friends.
PUBLIC library. Go to the library with your damned kids and preview what they want to check out if you like. Parent your OWN kids as much as you like.
