The Douglas County Libraries Board will have the final say Wednesday involving four LGBTQ+ books which the founder of a conservative group says promote a 'hyper-sexualized' narrative to children.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — The Douglas County Libraries Board will have the final say Wednesday after a months-long saga involving four LGBTQ+ books which the founder of a men's conservative group says promote a"hyper-sexualized" narrative to children.
Denver7 contacted Aaron Wood, founder of the"Freedom Fathers" Facebook page and the man who filed the appeal against the Douglas County Libraries months ago to remove these books from its shelves, as well as others who have spoken out in favor of pulling the books. None have returned our request for comment by deadline.
Of the one children's book in the complaint , Wood wrote,"The narrative of promoting the destructive homosexual lifestyle of transvestite strippers to children is a cruel means of hardening children's hearts and taking away their innocence in an attempt to appease a significantly small percentage of the population."
The first time Wood's appeal was denied by the manager of collection services, it was explained that,"While the content does not appeal to you, these titles do resonate with other families in our community, as demonstrated by their use.
