“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month. We have a conservative town and as a library do not need to make political statements (see Target and Budlight as negative examples). I certainly do not want the library to promote LGBTQ agendas.”

Ah, and removing them is not a political statement?

Remember, it’s only “political” when it’s something they don’t like.

And there's only two genders. Male and political. Two races. White and political.

To the quoted hate-filled fuck: Existing without being persecuted isn't a goddamn agenda you piece of shit. The only agenda I see here is your fascist one. Try keeping your shit to yourself and learn to let people be instead of trying to stamp them out, ignorant fuckstick.

Tell them it's to celebrate the receding flood waters and God's promise to never do it again.

That should shut them up.
