Same libraries that eagerly sponsor "Draq Queen Story Hour" refuse to let a Christian author do a reading

Your public library used to be a wholesome place.  But if you life in a big Democrat-ruled city,  need to show you don't know how much things have changed--for the worse.

By now most of you have heard that for years now libraries in so-called "progressive" cities have been sponsoring "draq queen story hours."  And if you object the mob will howl that you're a  ___-phobe.  

Besides, library execs counter that they're just being "tolerant," "open-minded," "inclusive."  Cuz we're all about "free speech" in public spaces, right?

To see how quickly this bullshit propaganda would "become inoperative," watch what happened when the publisher of a Christian childrens' book asked the Indianapolis Public Library if they could reserve a room for the book's author to do a reading from the book.

This is the same Indianapolis Public Library that regularly hosts "Drag Queen Story Hours" so you'd think they'd be willing to host all manner of readings, eh?

Hahahaha!  I see you just arrived on the planet!  Enjoy your stay!

Instead, the anti-Christian, pro-tranny library staff said no, we not gonna do dat.  The initial reason was that the Christian message of the book didn't align with the values of the library staff.

When the publisher pointed out that the official policy was that anyone could rent a room at the library, that bullshit dodge morphed into "We don't think there would be enough interest."

So the publisher *rented* a small room on the 6th floor.

When it came time for the reading, the room was packed to overflowing with parents and kids, drawing the biggest crowds to the library ever.  The publisher said "Thousands showed up," far exceeding the capacity of the room.

One woman posted video to Facebook of the lines to get into to hear the reading. The video of the long line clearly shows that the library's claim that there wouldn't be any interest was clearly not the issue.  Instead it was simply that library execs didn't like the book or its message.

The author says the book "teaches kids biblical wisdom, through the seasons of life and how to grow the fruits of the Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control."  You'd think that message would be pretty uncontroversial, but leftists, socialists and destroyers seem not to like it, so...
 
The publisher faced the same problem when trying to host a reading at the public library in Scarsdale, New York. The staff curtly declined, but then claimed they hadn't declined, but that the publisher hadn't completed the right paperwork.

Can you imagine the library trying that bullshit on a Drag Queen group?

When the publisher pushed back, saying the library couldn't refuse to let them reserve a room, the staff quickly claimed it was just a misunderstanding: they claimed they thought the publisher was asking them to *sponsor* a story hour--like "Drag Queen Story Hour, which the library PAYS taxpayer dollars to sponsor.

Indianapolis and Scarsdale have both boasted about their Drag Queen Story Hours.
