Kirk Cameron’s religious ‘story hour’ shot down by public libraries: ‘Not interested’
New York Post ^ | December 7, 2022 | Emily Lefroy

Actor and Christian activist Kirk Cameron is claiming that more than 50 public libraries have rejected his applications to hold a “story hour” to promote his new faith-based children’s book, accusing them of indulging the “woke left.”

The “Growing Pains” star says he hasn’t been given a story hour slot in public libraries, claiming that his publisher, Brave Books, has been told the messaging of his faith-based book, “As You Grow,” “does not align” with the LGBTQ-welcoming institutions.

Dozens of public libraries in the US have reportedly rejected or not responded to his publisher’s request for the former child star to hold an event, according to Fox News.

“We are a very queer-friendly library. Our messaging does not align,” one library worker from Rochambeau Public Library in Providence, Rhode Island — which promotes an event called the “Queer Umbrella” — reportedly told Brave

The left plays for keeps. Don’t get hung up on the principle of fairness like the right, their mission is to destroy.

So let me get this straight. A privately owned business like a bakery must make every kind of cake anyone wants no matter how sincerely they disagree with the message but a publicly funded entity can pick and chose who they rent space to?

Time for Kirk to start suing some library boards into submission.

Since they don’t want to allow equal access, they should lose public funds and have to support themselves. Either you are a public place, or you aren’t. Just like boys and girls, You are ONE or the OTHER.

Yep. Christians have buried their/our heads in the sand for decades, thinking that good always triumphs over evil.

Now we're seeing that the side wins that puts forth the most effort. Will good triumph? Sure, after this temporal world is gone (2 Peter 3:10: the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up) .

But we need to get militant now. If we had gone all scorched earth fifty years ago (when this insanity first appeared), our children would not have been brainwashed into having themselves castrated, objects of pleasure for demonic deviants, etc.

He needs to post a list & any responses received. Then let citizens take action. These petty little tyrants need to know they can be canceled, too.

Patriotic Americans insist on being surprised by what they think is the hypocrisy of the Woke.

We need to understand, these people are not human beings who adhere to historical "laws of human nature."

They may as well be aliens from another galaxy. They are not rational in our definition of the word. They have been infected with a way of perceiving reality that isn't human.

Though we need to obey our consciences with regard to how we treat them, we need to stop thinking they are human in the traditional sense.

They aren't.

Exactly. Insane.

Do they not realize they’re headed for a massive lawsuit? ...at taxpayer expense too.

To openly say they’re “LGBTQ ‘friendly’” and therefore will discriminate against any other message, as a PUBLICLY funded entity, is astonishing.

These libraries need to be infiltrated and exposed. Not that we already know who they are, but make more people aware.

Pretend you are a drag queen story teller, then rip off the costume and start reading the bible. Beat them at their own game. It’s time to play for keeps.

Drag Queen Hour is okay, however Christian Story Hour is bad. We need to fight locally and take back the libraries.!!

Went in Barnes and Noble the other day. Most of the books were woke politics, and the customers were 90% mid-twenties females with blue hair.

Grounds for a lawsuit which I hope he pursues.

Libraries are government buildings. Equal access
