"I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month." Imagine hating the idea of diversity so much that any kind of rainbow offends you. These people won't stop until the entire world is gray.
You should see the comments on instagram reels whenever a teacher posts something and there's a rainbow in the background, like just a rainbow on the wall in a kindergarten class or something, so many people absolutely fucking lose their minds and spew the most vile shit at these teachers, it's bizarre.
They won't stop until all the LGBTQ people (and Jews, people of color, etc) are dead.
“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month. We have a conservative town and as a library do not need to make political statements (see Target and Budlight as negative examples). I certainly do not want the library to promote LGBTQ agendas.”
Ah, and removing them is not a political statement?
Remember, it’s only “political” when it’s something they don’t like.
Imagine being so afraid of The Big Gay that you fire two people for being part of another community that uses boldly colored stripes in their logo, a community that literally has a documented statistical preference for bold primary colors and patterns. Imagine your hate being so enormous that it can't hit just one group of vulnerable minority children.

I don’t have to imagine anything at all to know what this is. Imagine having this experience most days!
These fucking morons don't even know what they're banning… Really teaching everyone how important education really is, and why they don't want people educated.
On June 22, Splitter, a temporary summer library employee, complained about the display to Lancaster, saying she found the “gay Pride” symbol offensive and going into “an anti-LGBT diatribe” even though Lancaster explained that the infinity symbol represented neurodiversity and autism.
I have to wonder if this person saw the rainbow and applied for a temp position just to complain.
So this is the Sterling Free Public Library that did this? The library at this website here?

I wonder what would happen if these ignorant bigots faced a proverbial shit storm of backlash from across the country every time they tried to pull hateful shit like this?
