COLORADO GOP CLOWN SHOW: Homophobic Freedom Father wants LGBTQ books removed from library

 
Headline:  Metro Weekly, 8/26/2023
Since April, a group of conservative residents in Douglas County, just outside the Denver metropolitan area, has demanded that the books be removed from the library’s collection over fears that they might be accessed by children. Those activists claimed the books were “obscene” and part of a plan to “indoctrinate children” into either identifying as LGBTQ or accepting LGBTQ identity as valid. 
The four requests seeking to have the books banned were lodged by Aaron Wood, the founder of the conservative Christian men’s activist group Freedom Fathers, who previously ran for chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. 
“The issue with these books are the themes and suggestive nature, sexual elements, that are portrayed in these books, and the question of, ‘Well, why is this something that should be in the library catalog?'” Wood told CBS News. 
Wood also argued that removing the books from the library shelves did not mean that those works wouldn’t be available elsewhere.
