Drag Queen Story Hour in ... Alabama?!

This perverse LGBT Agenda is looking for new ways to creep into the daily lives of ordinary American citizens.

Their next step is to infiltrate through local libraries and normalize men dressing up as women: transsexualism, queer behavior, homosexuality, transgenderism, and the rest.

Breitbart first reported on this travesty (no pun intended) first:

Library board addresses Drag Queen Story Hour in Mobile: 'If we exclude one, we exclude all'

A Sept. 8 Drag Queen Story Hour event in Mobile has generated a mix of outrage and support on social media, and a group of local pastors are expected to speak out against it during Monday's Mobile County Commission meeting.

What's the point of this agenda?

Public libraries provide an easy means for getting to ... the children. The goal of the whole LGBT Agenda has been to brainwash the children to question biological fact and Biblical morality. Public libraries also provide a perfect forum because local governments cannot shut them out. The First Amendment provides them a pretty safe forum, ironclad from legal or moral challenges.

At least, so far.

But the one-hour event, in which a drag queen will read children's stories to kids ages 3-8, is not likely to be canceled or moved from the Ben May Main library.

In a statement Wednesday, the Mobile Public Library Board said it simply cannot exclude groups that meet the library's policies for utilizing public meeting rooms.

But does the Library Board have to tolerate this? Drag queens represent a very mature, adult themed concept. The First Amendment does not mean that they can just foist whatever content they want onto children.

Parents have a right to confront material, content, causes, whatever

"Permission to use a library meeting room does not constitute library endorsement of any group's policies, objectives, goals or beliefs," the statement to AL.com reads. "If we exclude one group, we must exclude all."

Not sure about that take on the matter. The First Amendment is not carte blanche for people to say whatever they want. Libraries can establish norms and standards. Or they can provide disclaimers. Or at the very least libraries can permit counter-programs to keep children away from the Drag Queen Story Hour.

Since 2015, libraries around the U.S. have been hosting Drag Queen Story Hour, in which a drag queen reads stories before children. Alabama will host its first-ever Drag Queen Story Hour on Sept. 8 at the Ben May Main Branch Library in Mobile.

'No direct control'

Mobile city officials are also hearing from both sides of the Drag Queen Story Hour debate. Among them is Mayor Sandy Stimpson.

His spokeswoman, Laura Byrne, said there is nothing the mayor can do about the library-hosted event.

"The Mobile Public Library is a separate organization from the city of Mobile, but the governing board of the library is appointed by the Mobile City Council," said Byrne. "The library employees are not city employees. The mayor's office has no direct control over the board or the operations of the library.

Passing the buck: that's all that it is. This is wrong. The Mobile City Council can remove the board members and bring in people who don't want to see the drag queens teaching their kids queer ideas.

Byrne said that local government has little legal authority to cancel the event.

"The First Amendment grants all citizens the right to the freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of association," she said. "Libraries are public spaces especially when the city owns the building. The government cannot limit this right as long as citizens don't disobey the law."

Is it possible to pass a law to limit the scope of the freedom of speech offered in a library setting? Again, the common law basis of this country does not permit unfettered recognition of natural rights for minors. Why not present a counter-demonstration talking about how Moms and Dads matter?

The event is sponsored by Rainbow Mobile, a nonprofit group organized earlier this year to serve the LGBTQ community in Southeast Alabama. The group wants to promote awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ community in Mobile.

No, the group wants to destroy the Judeo-Christian heritage which has served as the backbone of the Southeastern United States, and in turn help turn the region a deep hue of  Democratic blue. This is wrong, all wrong. Parents should have the authority to permit or forbid what their tax dollars pay for.

Stories will be read by Wade Brasfield, whose drag queen persona is "Khloe Kash." The scheduled story time activities include a five-minute greeting followed by a reading of "Stella Brings the Family," and "Rainbow Fish." In between each reading is a five-minute break. The event concludes with 15 minutes of arts and crafts time.

'Approved programming'

Similar story time events have occurred in cities throughout the U.S., though not without controversy. The most recent issue concerns one of the readings in Lafayette, Louisiana, where the city's mayor-president recently announced on Facebook that he was looking to find a way to cancel or move to a private venue an Oct. 6 Drag Queen Story Hour reading in Acadiana.

That's the response. This LGBT Movement is disgusting on a level unseen. The Democratic Party and the cultural Marxist Left is trying every means possible to push their agenda, and they are doing this purposefully to shake up the common sense sensibilities of these Southern Communities.

"Don't California My South!" should be the rallying cry.

This is Wrong!

"Our parish libraries are public spaces, with venues that any group or individual can reserve on a non-discriminatory basis, as required by law," said Joel Robideaux, mayor-president of the Lafayette Consolidate Government. "We have to be certain, however, that our internally approved programming is both appropriate and serves the needs of Lafayette Parish. That is the only way our library system will continue to enjoy the support from our community that it has historically received."

Supporters flocked to a Lafayette City-Parish Council meeting on Tuesday, according to a reporter from The Acadiana Advocate.

The Lafayette event is being sponsored by the University of Louisiana Lafayette's Delta Lambda Phi social fraternity, which is for gay, bisexual, transgender and progressive men.

'Equal terms'

In Mobile, the library has distanced itself from the event.

A library spokeswoman, on Monday, said that no tax dollars, library funds or Friends of the Library funds are being used for the event.

That's not true. The event is taking place in a public institution, paid for with taxpayer dollars. This argument is a total crock. The Mobile, Alabama City Council has the authority to remove and appoint new library commissioners. They need to take a stance and say "Natural marriage, natural rights, and natural law." 

The board's statement on Wednesday continued, "The library welcomes the use of its meeting rooms by community businesses, groups and organizations. As an institution for education and free speech and in accordance with Article 6 of the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights, the library makes its meeting rooms available on equal terms to all groups regardless of beliefs and affiliations of their members."

The American Library Association, the world's oldest library association that claims over 57,000 members, has encouraged libraries to create programs that foster more equitable, diverse and inclusive societies.

Final Reflection

The pro-family movement has to come up with answers to these latest incursions of the regressive left into our culture. The LGBT Agenda wants to take over the public libraries. The pro-family movement should set up signs and parents in and around the room telling the truth about drag queens and who they engage in unnatural behaviors. The parents, the conservative activists who want to put a stop to this perversion should then demand that patrons call the elected officials on the city council and remove the library commissioners. Share the contact information of these commissioners and make sure they don't rest easy as long as that perverse "Drag Queen Story Hour" continues.

People have to think creatively. The answer to free speech is more free speech. Parents can fight this, and pro-family activists can help them.
