LGBTQ+ librarians grapple with attacks on books - and on themselves
Associated Press ^ | June 22, 2024 | Claire Savage

Idaho librarian June Meissner was closing up for the day at the downtown Boise Public Library when a man approached her asking for help.

As an information services librarian, answering patrons’ questions is part of Meissner’s day-to-day work, and serving the community is one of her favorite parts of the job.

But when the man got close enough, “he took a swing at me and tried to punch me in the head,” said Meissner, a transgender woman. “I blocked it and he started yelling slurs and suggesting that he was going to come back and kill me.”

Given the Internet and this sample, perhaps it's time we shut down ALL libraries, once and for all.

By the way, if you want to know the 'values' that the West now fights around the world for, this article is a good example. And no, beasts like this are not limited to Blue States anymore - look at the first word of the article.

I want to see video. Those who are deluded about their sex are often fabulists about much more.

Just because some enemies exist, doesn’t mean others do not.

What is the larger priority—enemies thousands of miles away or enemies in your town?

This is not a trick question.

At least he was a gentleman and didn’t try to hit a woman.

Agree, how about we get our shit together before taking off around the world and trying to take over countries?

The problem is that when the enemy is inside the gates there is no “we” anymore.

A domestic enemy with a nuke in Houston is more of a threat than Russian nuke subs off of Cuba, I suppose. Probably not by much.

The enemies in our colleges are inextricably linked to our external enemies.

They fight together against us.

Same thing I thought. If enough of us individuals each dealt with just one of these child predators.... so it started screaming slurs at the man. Sounds like a good way to get it fired.

“...Meissner, a transgender woman....”


Here, AP, let me help you out. “...Meissner, a man who is pretending to be a woman...”

A domestic enemy with a nuke in a city could be considered a liberator by those county folk taxed for the pleasure of their free wifi, zoos, parks and concert halls unaccessable to the bunkins.

There really is no more we. Just those in charge who have, and the have nots.

By your example Texas won’t go purple or blue ever... NYC anyone?

Good God! This beast is the librarian in our capitol city in Idaho. We are so screwed. Life was so much better when these perverts were in the closet and moaning about the "privacy of our BEDROOMS."

But AP is providing a valuable service showing us what the enemy inside our walls looks like.

There’s really not much choice. We need to SHUT DOWN the places where these animals gather, starting with the Libraries and the Public Schools. At least get them away from our kids.

Why? The perpetrator was arrested, admitted to the crimes, convicted, and sentenced.

Reminder: The Dims told us over and over it was a conspiracy theory to say that they were teaching LGBTQ to kids.
