A lawsuit, filed by patrons of a county library in Arkansas, has been allowed to move forward by a federal court. The First Amendment lawsuit plausibly alleges the library’s decision to move anything determined to be “LGBTQ” from the children’s section to the adult’s section violates the First Amendment right to equitable access to information. (via Courthouse News Service)
Here’s how this started, according to the decision [PDF] that moves this lawsuit forward:
[I]n late 2022 or early 2023 the Crawford County Library System implemented a policy under which its library branches must remove from their children’s sections all books containing LGBTQ themes, affix a prominent color label to those books, and place them in a newly-created section called the “social section.” Plaintiffs allege this policy was imposed on the Library System by the Crawford County Quorum Court in response to political pressure from constituents who objected, at least partly on religious grounds, to the presence of these books in the children’s section.
I don’t watch Fox news.
Children should not be reading about advanced sexual theory.
Period. There is no discussion to be had here. I am more than happy to be a bigoted moron in your eyes if you can’t handle that fact.

You’re welcome to share anything you want with your children. I think it’s presumptuous for you to make that decision for other parents.

You’re gonna have to try harder if you wanna reel people in, this is weak bait.
Omg how did you know gay people spend their day in the library, covertly providing advanced LGBT propaganda in order to convert innocent children into super liberals??
Shut it down everyone, they figured out our agenda /s
Just like you’re doing?
You can subject your child to whatever you like.
I’m gonna subject your wife to a better relationship.
Woah, that’s interesting!
Anyways, back to the actual topic
Who cares what “facts” a bigot makes? Bigots by nature claim non-factual things as facts.
If you’ll accept you’re a bigot then the discussion is done and your opinion doesn’t matter to people who actually care about others.

You accept you’re a bigot. We don’t accept that it’s “advanced sexual theory”. Which just sounds like an attempt to shame people arguing actual logic to you.
