From Brooklyn to Wichita, public libraries create LGBTQ-affirming spaces

Drag queens reading children’s books and puppets talking about gender identity are examples of the unique programming libraries are using to foster acceptance.

For Lindsay Amer, bringing a live performance of their popular children’s web series to the Brooklyn Public Library made perfect sense.

“I feel like libraries are kind of like the YouTube of the real world,” Amer, who uses gender-neutral they/them pronouns, told NBC News. “They’re publicly accessible, they have all of this information that’s kind of just stock piled there, and anyone can get into it and really dive deep.”

Amer is the creator and host of Queer Kid Stuff - a web series on YouTube dedicated to educating children about LGBTQ topics through vlog-style conversations and original songs. In episodes posted online, Amer and their puppet Teddy explore subjects ranging from coming out as nonbinary to the importance of giving consent.

On a recent Saturday, Amer partnered up with the Brooklyn Public Library to perform a live show of Queer Kid Stuff to an audience of children and parents in the youth wing of the library’s main branch, where Amer read books and performed songs from the popular web series, which has nearly 100,000 YouTube followers.

The collaboration was one of the latest examples of a public library partnering up with members of the LGBTQ community to help create more inclusive and welcoming spaces within its library system.

Not their role. A misuse of public funds.

Yes, it would be better for them to do that than what they’re doing.

People in a Romans 1:18-32 condition have been turned over to depraved minds, arguably so that they can as a punishment subsequently choose to become as a bad as bad can be since nothing spiritual is standing in their way anymore.

Plus, it gives the freak show access to little children to prey upon.

The days of taking kids to the library are over ...

OK.

So it is now officially a function of public libraries (and as such the government) to groom children for sodomy.

The library profession has become the most leftist of all.

It’s no surprise that public libraries are often havens for queers looking to pick up someone.

This is it exactly. They're second only to the advertising profession when it comes to leftism and forcing it on the public.

if stupid parents allow this, then it on them......they're evil......

I prefer my own childhood, where you knew where you stood, what you were, and how you were supposed to behave...

“Poison Waters?”

Are we living in Bunyan’s allegorical novel now?
