spoke out Wednesday following more than 50 libraries allegedly rejecting his attempts to visit and read his new faith-based book, while many have had no problem hosting drag queen story hours for children.
"I'm thinking, 'Wow, if we're so committed to diversity, why am I being excluded? Why can't I use your facility to read my book? You're a library.'"He said a Providence, R.I., library rejected another offer, with a worker telling publisher Brave Books they are a"very queer-friendly library; our messaging does not align."
