Not all library funds come from public tax dollars. So, assuming those books are bought with non public funds, what’s the gripe there? Or, heck, what if I donate the books?
Or maybe this isn’t actually about public funds… Maybe it’s one group applying their subjective moral beliefs on another group, then retroactively defending their atrocious behavior as a “public funds” debate.
What are you even talking about? You were saying that taxpayer money shouldn’t go to LGBT books in libraries if the community doesn’t want taxpayer money to go to them. I’m showing you that taxpayer money doesn’t have to go to them. So do you still have an issue with libraries buying books that cater to minorities in their community?
So you think the only reason libraries should have books that might interest black or gay people is to get “social points” and not to, I don’t know, have books that gay and black people want to read?
One thing is “banning” and another is deciding what “tax money” buys. You can get any book you want, that is not called banning
So government spending should be based on religious beliefs? Because there is no other reason for banning LGBTQ+ books, you know.
I think the Constitution has a word or two about that.

Shouldn’t you be under a bridge somewhere?
I am, with all my homeless roommates here in San Francisco :)
So if they buy it from book sale money, it’s fine?
What do you mean by “they”? What sale money?
So you aren’t even aware that libraries have book sales to raise funds?
i.e. money that isn’t taxpayer money?
Maybe you shouldn’t make pronouncements about libraries if you never even set foot in them.
