The Cleveland Park Public Library decided to make a statement in hearing that Christian actor and author Kirk Cameron was coming to their library to read his book for a story hour, putting up rainbow flags and prominently displaying LGBTQ books as a means of reinforcing its “core values.” According to reports:

Mr. Cameron arrived at the Cleveland Park Public Library in Northwest Washington to find it festooned with LGBT rainbow flags and a book display with dozens of LGBTQ-themed books for children and youth, including pro-transgender titles such as “Princess Boy” and “I’m Not a Girl.”

The library system acknowledged that the displays were installed Tuesday in a deliberate rebuttal to the Christian actor and activist ahead of his Wednesday reading, the latest stop on his national library tour aimed at offering a conservative alternative to drag queen story hours.

“The public feedback that the library received on Twitter, and through emails and phone calls, indicated that there was a perception that the library endorses the views of the groups using the public meeting room,” the library system said in a statement to The Washington Times. “The library created the displays to correct that misinterpretation of its core value of welcoming everyone.”

Cameron was appearing to read his book ‘As you Grow.” His publisher, Brave Books, warned that these libraries were seeking to groom children, and that they wouldn’t “back down.”
