Libraries vary greatly in quality. I don’t know why this is downvoted.


Because they're dancing around specific complaints and this line, for example,

> were I to give a factual description of the childrens and teens sections, I would get banned by dang.

reeks of "I don't want LGBTQ representation in my library" or similar.

If I'm wrong, so be it. But the commenter isn't helping their own case.


Dang has no problem with lgbt representation, so that couldn’t be the problem. So what could be rampant in the children/teen sections that is banned from this site but is simultaneously synonymous in your mind to the lgb movement?


> reeks of "I don't want LGBTQ representation in my library" or similar.

Hmm I thought that libraries promoting lgbt content to kids was a conspiracy theory.


"Promoting it" is. "Making it available so that kids who are are undergoing changes they don't understand but desperately need to learn about" is not.


Ok, I don’t think OPs comment is about eliminating lgbt books from the library.
