Local LGBT activists turn from schools to public libraries in battle for children's souls

By John Labriola - 

Nothing more starkly illustrates the LGBT movement's obsession with recruiting very young children into homosexuality and transgenderism than their hysterical reaction to Gov. Ron DeSantis' recent signing of Florida's new Parental Rights in Education Act, which bans LGBT grooming of children in kindergarten through third grade. 

Before the ink was even dry on the new law, the Human Rights Campaign, Equality Florida and other LGBT pressure groups sued the state in a bid to overturn it. Meanwhile, the Disney Corporation (whose content producers have been caught bragging about their "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" for kids) announced it would join in the legal battle after pledging millions of dollars to a variety of LGBT activist organizations dedicated to bringing creepy LGBT indoctrination into classrooms as early in a child's life as possible.  

The LGBT movement's anger and frustration over the state's new anti-grooming law has spilled over into Citrus County's debate over the library system's "Gay Pride Month" propaganda displays. Local LGBT activists have made it clear they see our public libraries as the new battlefront over children's souls now that children under 9 years old can no longer be groomed by their schoolteachers and counselors into identifying as homosexual or transgender.

At last month's Citrus County Library Advisory Board meeting, Bill Fader, who described himself as a gay former educator, lamented the new law's passage as he defended the annual month-long LGBT propaganda displays, which have featured rainbow flags, LGBT slogans and books promoting homosexuality and transgenderism to children.

"Where else can you go but a public library? You certainly can't go to the schools anymore," he moaned. (See video clip here.) 

Despite the fact that opponents of the one-sided propaganda displays far outnumbered LGBT activists at the meeting, and despite being presented with 800 signatures on a petition to cancel them, the Library Advisory Board (LAB) voted 7-2 to allow the displays to continue unchallenged. The seven LAB members who arrogantly voted to completely dismiss residents’ concerns were Chairwoman April McLaughlin, Vice Chairwoman Neale Brennan, and members Shavonna Reid, Carol Spring, Phyllis Peters, Lorraine Benefield and Ken Jones. Edith Ramlow, the longest-serving LAB member with 15 years on the board, vaguely suggested a more “balanced” approach but said she did not favor canceling the LGBT promotional displays.

The LAB vote came just weeks before county commissioners are scheduled to meet on April 26 in their capacity as the governing board for the library system to decide whether to reappoint or replace five LAB members whose terms are expiring. Not replacing them with qualified citizens who respect the community’s values would be a major slap in the face of Citrus County's vast conservative majority, including the very large number of concerned citizens who have spoken out at meetings, sent emails and signed petitions to demand that children who use the libraries not be exposed to psychologically damaging taxpayer-funded displays of LGBT propaganda.

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
