Good. As I read the following sentence,

…Fresno County Supervisor Steve Brandau, who developed a library material review committee for his county because he was disturbed by the children’s books included in a Pride Month display at a local library

I found myself wondering if Brandau objected to parents indoctrinating their children into an Abrahamic religion? Those religions are the historical roots of long-term anti-LGBT sentiments, thus mandating the need for strong protection of minority rights.

Of course not. His book of men ejaculating like horses, daughters fucking their drunk dad, a woman driving a tent spike through a man’s temple, and a bald man commanding she-bears to eat children because they made fun of said bald man is just fine.

Books that teach you to love everybody for who they are and accept diversity? Now those are right out.

A local ordinance that increases rights is not the same as local ordinances that attempts to do the opposite. That’s why this is different, lord have mercy
