An advisory board overseeing the public library in Homer has voted to keep scores of books containing supposed LGBTQ themes in the children’s and young adult sections instead of moving them to a separate location after complaints were made.
The petition asked that books “promoting transgender ideology, drag queens, homosexuality, and all other books which are intended to indoctrinate children in LGBQT+ ideologies” either be removed or not be available to children “to stumble upon these confusing ideas” in the children’s library or in the juvenile section.
The board’s four-hour meeting Jan. 17 included public comments and the board considering the fate of each of the books individually. Veldstra said the library was willing to regulate books based on the possibility that children might not be prepared to encounter racist content. For the parents who want their children to only read books with heterosexual couples and nuclear families, he said, the library has thousands of books for them.
