Backtrack to June 2021. Queer: The Ultimate Guide for Teens by Kathy Belge is propped-up on display within arm’s reach of all children and teens who visit the Bethany Library. A teen, who could be your own son or daughter, flips the pages and finds details of two boys kissing and a page describing the attraction he might have to a certain character in the movie Aladdin.

Sound out of this world?

It’s not. It is real and it happened this past summer at every library in the metro. What about the month celebrating heterosexual attraction and a Biblical view of sex? It doesn’t exist.

But the Guiding Values of the Metropolitan Library System says the library is ‘inclusive’ and dedicated to ‘fair and equitable circulation.’

I have an idea. Let’s stop promoting books at the library. You can’t possibly make everyone happy. It’s like promoting OSU but not OU; I guarantee THAT would make the tax-paying citizens of Oklahoma County mad!

What if the library would promote character virtues: courage, friendship, honesty, responsibility, loyalty, work, compassion?

Until then, libraries will be busy keeping the LGBTQ+ community happy by promoting and celebrating their worldview in displays that confuse and harm our children.

Please take time today to call the Executive Director of the Metropolitan Library System, Mr. Larry White, at 603-3725. Tell him you are a tax-paying citizen who is unhappy that the library displays books that have potential to harm the most vulnerable members of our community, our children.

It would make you blush. It is “pure pornography” according to a parent in Washington State, yet it is written for 14-18 year olds and is available at your local library.

It is Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe.

The book, a graphic novel located in the biography section, appeals to teenagers. The explicit drawings are pornographic filth, including erotic pictures of sex and masturbation.

Thankfully, the book has been a topic of controversy across the United States and has been removed from some public school libraries. But it remains on the shelves within the public libraries of Oklahoma County.

If my 14 year old son were browsing the shelves of Belle Isle Library to find a biography for a school project, he could easily find Gender Queer, check it out, and take it home. The fact that this obscene book is marketed to minors is despicable.

Our libraries, where children have browsed books safely for decades, have caved to a disturbing trend in our woke culture, sexualizing our youth.

Call Larry White, the Executive Director of the Metropolitan Library System. Call legislators, spread the word. It is time to stand up for our children. We do not want our local libraries to market sexually explicit material like Gender Queer: A Memoir to our youth. It’s called pedophilia, and it’s wrong.
